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 …
