2006, issue 1: The Biologically Active Cholecystokinin (26-33) peptide, [Tyr2-SO3]CCK-8, Retains High Affinity for CCK2 Receptors after Covalent Conjugation to Saporin / by Lai J, Zhang W, Badghisi H, Hruby VJ, Porreca F / featuring CCK-SAP (Cat. #IT-31) SFN Poster of the Year Targeting Talk: LPS Content Targeting Tools: Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27) and Biotinylation Service …
Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27) Saporin conjugated to streptavidin is one of the most useful reagents that we have produced at ATS. It has been used in a wide variety of studies both in academic research and pharmaceutical/biotech labs. Workers are able to easily see if their molecule, that is biotinylated, is internalized by the target cells. …
In a recent experiment using a saporin-antibody conjugate injected systemically we saw changes in dendritic cells that could be consistent with an LPS effect. Does ATS test for LPS and has this ever been identified as a problem before? Yes, this can happen, but we here at ATS will swear innocence. One of our collaborators …
Cholinergic septo-hippocampal innervation is required for trace eyeblink classical conditioning. Fontan-Lozano A, Troncoso J, Munera A, Carrion AM, Delgado-Garcia JM. Learn Mem 12(6):557-563, 2005. Classical conditioning of eyeblink responses can be used to evaluate cognitive deficits. The authors lesioned the medial septum/diagonal band of rats with 200 ng of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01), then examined classical …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is widely distributed in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. The 33-amino acid peptide contains a carboxyl terminal octapeptide sequence Asp-Tyr-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2 which confers the biological activity …
