Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is a major constituent of human blood plasma comprising 55% of plasma proteins. Human serum albumin is produced in the liver and plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance in the blood. Affinity-purified Antibody to HSA, rabbit polyclonal,(Cat. #AB-40AP) is affinity-purified with HSA on CnBr-activated Sepharose 4 Fast Flow followed

Saporin is a plant enzyme with N-glycosidase activity that depurinates a specific nucleotide in the ribosomal RNA 28S, thus irreversibly blocking protein synthesis. Affinity-purified Anti-Saporin rabbit polyclonal (Cat. #AB-41AP) is the most recent addition to our line of Saporin antibodies. These antibodies can be used as controls with our Saporin-conjugate immunotoxins, for immunoblotting, and in

Advanced Targeting Systems announces the release of Melanopsin-SAP (Cat. #IT-44), a reagent that specifically eliminates intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) that contain melanopsin. This material is described in Göz et al.[1] and consists of an antibody to an extracellular domain conjugated to saporin. The ipRGCs, with their amazing long processes, have become major players

In 2004, ATS re-designed the anti-murine p75-SAP targeted toxin (mu p75-SAP, Cat. #IT-16) and produced a conjugate that is much more potent in our in vitro cell cytotoxicity assays. Previously, we used a rat monoclonal antibody. This antibody had been outperformed by our rabbit polyclonal (Cat. #AB- N01), in several assays, especially flow cytometry analysis

Species Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Rabbit Anti-AChR (Cat. #AB-N36) binds with high affinity to the AChR subtype with 59 kDa ACh-binding subunits, but with considerably lower affinity to the AChR subtype with 75 kDa subunits. Anti-AChR binds to the main immunogenic region on α1 subunits of muscle-type AChRs. Reference 1. Schoepfer R, Halvorsen SW, Conroy

FGF-2, or basic fibroblast growth factor, binds all of the FGF receptors with high affinity. We have used this molecule to produce FGF-SAP (Cat. #IT-38), which has a healthy experimental publication record (“FGF” and “saporin” in PubMed: 25 hits). It has been used to clean primary cultures of fibroblasts.[1] It was important in determining the
