Targeting in mouse: mu p75-SAP (Cat. #IT-16) To create this targeted toxin, we affinity-purified the rabbit polyclonal with the immunogen bound to a solid support, and conjugated the affinity-purified antibody (Cat. #AB-N01AP) to saporin. As can be seen in the cytotoxicity assay below, mu p75-SAP has an EC50 in the picomolar range. This greater potency […]

At this year’s AACR meeting, Leonardo Ancheta, scientist and Product Manager from ATS, presented a poster on our new monoclonal antibody to Basigin-2 (Cat. #AB-42). The poster describes our work with the antibody and the immunotoxin made from it (Cat. #IT-54). Basigin-2 (EMMPRIN, CD147) is widely expressed on the surface of numerous tumor types and

Anti-GFP-SAP (Cat. #IT-53) The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene can be introduced and maintained in the genome through breeding, injection with a viral vector, or cell transformation. Whether your cells express a surface protein with a GFP-coded region, or you have a protein that targets specific cells and contains a GFP tag, Anti-GFP-ZAP can be

Anti-6 His-SAP (Cat. #IT-52) Composed of an antibody to 6 His conjugated to saporin, this secondary conjugate should be used as a diagnostic tool for testing your primary, 6 His-tagged proteins for specific cell surface epitope binding and internalization. The 6 His tag is widely used because of its affinity to bind nickel or cobalt

New Secondary Conjugates – Fab-ZAPs – Use Monovalent Secondary Antibodies Linked to Saporin For the past decade scientists have extensively used secondary conjugates (e.g. Mab-ZAP; Cat. #IT-04, and Hum-ZAP; Cat. #IT-22) to make their own targeted toxins for in vitro use. The ability to combine: 1) a primary antibody to a cell-surface marker with 2)

Leptin-SAP (Cat. #IT-47) is a conjugate between recombinant mouse leptin and saporin. Leptin is a 16 kDa protein hormone that activates leptin receptors, and plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism. Leptin inhibits the activity of neurons that contain neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP), and

Dinh and Sue Ritter Programs in Neuroscience, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-6520, USA Leptin is a fat tissue-derived hormone with widespread actions in brain and peripheral tissues. Leptin’s actions are mediated by the long isoform of the leptin receptor, OB-Rb, which has a lengthy intracellular region
