Ciliate strains, antibodies available --

[john kloetzel]

To all protist colleagues:  Due to my impending retirement from active
research on my pet ciliate, Euplotes, I am disbursing my stocks of
several Euplotes species, and one Oxytrichid.  The attachment lists
those strains available, and their origins and preferred (lab) foods.  
All are freshwater, although one (E. woodruffi) was adapted from a
local brackish water collection.

If anyone is interested in receiving any of these strains, please
contact me (best first by phone) and I can ship them to you.  I will be
moving across country this spring, and do not intend to take any cells
with me.

Soon I will also be dispensing some of my stocks of antibodies against
Euplotes cytoskeletal proteins that I have made.  Monoclonals and
polyclonals against PLATEIN proteins, and polyclonals against a basal
body scaffold protein that I have dubbed CAGEIN (Mss in preparation).  
If you think these could be of use in your work, again please contact
me.
