Cover Article: Partial basal forebrain cholinergic depletion leaves working memory susceptible to the effects of systemic inflammation

Contributed by Dr. Colm Cunningham, Trinity College, Institute of Neuroscience & School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Dublin, Ireland It is well established that peripheral inflammation can signal the intact CNS to bring about adaptive changes in behavior during the sickness response. However, during aging and dementia, the brain is particularly susceptible to the deleterious effects …

Targeting Tools: Anti-SERT-SAP

Anti-SERT-SAP (Cat. #IT-23) utilizes a monoclonal antibody to the fourth extracellular domain of the serotonin re-uptake transporter (SERT). SERT is the major determinant of serotonin inactivation following release at synapses, is the site of action for many tricyclic antidepressants and the SSRIs (serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors), and is also targeted by a number of psychostimulants including …

Targeting Tools: Mac-1-SAP

The Mac-1-SAP targeted toxins recognize Mac-1-positive (CD11b) cells in mouse/human (Cat. #IT-06) or in rat (Cat. #IT-33). The toxin is excellent for removing contaminating macrophages from primary cultures. Elimination of macrophages in vivo is useful to determine their role(s) in autoimmune diseases and in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Both toxins are extremely potent, with …

Targeting Tools: Anti-GST

The Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) family of enzymes contains cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal proteins that are capable of multiple reactions with a multitude of substrates, both endogenous and xenobiotic. GST catalyzes the conjugation of reduced glutathione which is useful in the detoxification of endogenous compounds such as peroxidized lipids, as well as the metabolism of xenobiotics. …

Targeting Tools: Anti-RFP

Red fluorescent protein (RFP) is derived from Discosoma sea anemone. This antibody (Anti-RFP, Cat. #AB-332) recognizes native and denatured forms of RFP. The antigen for this antibody is present in all of these fluorescent molecules: RFP, tag-RFP, turbo-RFP, DeRed, mCherry, and mOrange. The epitope for the antibody is part of the RFP N-terminal sequence. RFP …

Targeting Tools: NK3-SAP

An analog of the Neurokinin B peptide, [MePhe7]-NKB, is a selective agonist of the NK3 receptor. Conjugation of [MePhe7]-NKB to saporin (NK3-SAP) allows for the specific elimination of a subpopulation of neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy neurons) through their co-expression of the NK3 receptor. Although NK3 receptor expressing neurons reside in several …

Targeting Tools: Chick-ZAP

Chick-ZAP is the most recent in our line of Secondary Conjugates. It is a chemical conjugate of affinity-purified rabbit anti-chicken IgY and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. The conjugate will target and eliminate cells that recognize your primary antibody. This reagent can be utilized for screening chicken IgY antibodies for internalization and/or their suitability to make …
