Advanced Targeting Systems has introduced important new toxins for investigation into cells that express the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor and especially the workings of the immune system. Anti-CD25-saporin (Anti-Tac-SAP) conjugates are directed to the human IL-2 receptor or to the mouse IL-2 receptor. This marker for activated T lymphocytes allows removal of this important group of […]

Contributed by Dr. James Smith, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Medical Center Blvd, Winston-Salem NC 27157 Recent data implicate cholinergic neurons in the brain processes that underlie reinforcement. The involvement of cholinergic neurons in cocaine self-administration has been recently demonstrated using muscarinic and nicotinic agonists and antagonists, microdialysis, assessment

Progress continues to be made in moving SP-SAP closer to clinical trials as a treatment for chronic pain. The latest development is the leasing of a 3700-sq ft facility adjacent to the current ATS facility in San Diego. This facility will be converted to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) space suitable for production of SP-SAP for
