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 […]
What is immunolesioning? Immunolesioning is a technique for making highly selective cellular lesions using immunotoxins. The immunotoxins consist of a monoclonal antibody to a cell surface molecule and a toxic effect or moiety such as saporin, a ribosome-inactivating protein. The selectivity of the lesion made with this technique depends on the selective expression of the […]
Up-regulation of growth-associated protein 43 mRNA in rat medial septum neurons axotomized by fimbria-fornix transection. Haas CA, Hollerbach E, Deller T, Naumann T, Frotscher M. Eur J Neurosci 12(12):4233-4242, 2000. PMID: 11122335 Axonal growth and regeneration is limited in adult mammals, however if injured CNS neurons are in an environment permissive for growth, they can […]
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. […]
