Targeting Talk: Targeted Toxin Controls

• Your targeted toxin kits come with different controls. I'm not sure of the best way to use them. For example, with the anti-SERT-SAP (Cat. #IT-23) kit there is included unconjugated antibody, unconjugated saporin, and a control conjugate, mouse IgG-SAP. Should I use them all in the same experiment or for different purposes?
• What about for the peptide toxins like orexin-SAP (Cat. #IT-20) or SP-SAP (Cat. #IT-07) — what controls are available for those?
