Advanced Targeting Systems announces two new control molecules for use with immunotoxins. We now offer mouse IgG (Cat. #IT-18) or rat IgG (Cat. #IT-17) conjugated to saporin. These new controls are the same molecular weight, consist of similar, comparable materials — saporin and a rat or mouse IgG — and are synthesized with the same […]

Early last month (March 2001), Advanced Targeting Systems (ATS) received funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to begin toxicology/safety studies of Substance P-Saporin (SP-SAP), a potential therapeutic for the treatment of chronic pain. The studies will be completed under the direction of three scientists who are experts in their respective fields. Dr.

IB4, or the B4 lectin isoform from Bandeiraea simplicifolia (Griffonia simplicifolia), has played an important role in the delineation of the pathways of pain transmission. One of the two major groups of primary afferents that target the spinal cord dorsal horn neurons are labeled by IB4; the other group by TrkA and peptides such as

Contributed by Dr. Ann Schreihofer, University of Virginia, contributes this issue’s article from the laboratories of ATS customers. Dr. Schreihofer summarizes her research with anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) to immunolesion specific rostral ventral medulla neurons that project to the spinal cord by injection of anti-DBH-SAP into the rat spinal cord. The toxin is taken up and

The ME20.4 monoclonal antibody (Cat. #AB-N07) was derived from immunization of mice with WM245 melanoma cells. The antibody can be used in Western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, FACS analysis, and electron microscopy. The known species reactivity includes human, primate, rabbit, raccoon, dog, cat, and sheep. The ME20.4-SAP immunotoxin (Cat. #IT-15) is a chemical conjugation between the
