Ricin toxin is a disulfide-linked glycoprotein (AB toxin) comprising one enzymatic A chain
(RTA) and one cell-binding B chain (RTB) contained in the castor bean, a Ricinus species …

Ricin, derived from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis, is one of the most potent and
lethal toxins known, against which there is no available antidote. To date, the use of …

Ricin toxin (RT) belongs to the ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) family of toxins and is
considered to be a moderate threat by the US Center of Disease Control and Prevention …

Background Ricin is a lethal toxin that inhibits protein synthesis. It is easily extracted from a
ubiquitously grown plant, Ricinus communis, and thus readily available for use as a …

Ricin toxin (RT) is derived from castor beans, produced by the plant Ricinus communis. RT
and its toxic A chain (RTA) have been used therapeutically to arm ligands that target disease …

Ricin is a type II ribosome-inactivating toxin that catalytically inactivates ribosomes ultimately
leading to cell death. The toxicity of ricin along with the prevalence of castor beans (its …

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have listed the potential bioweapon ricin as
a Category B Agent. Ricin is a so-called A/B toxin produced by plants and is one of the …

Ricin is a potential biothreat agent with no approved antidote available for ricin poisoning.
The aim of this study was to develop potent antibody‐based antiricin antidotes. Four strong …

Ricin is a glycoprotein produced in castor seeds and consists of two polypeptide chains
named Ricin Toxin A Chain (RTA) and Ricin Toxin B Chain (RTB), linked via a disulfide …

Ricin, a highly toxic protein from Ricinus communis, is considered a potential biowarfare
agent. Despite the many data available, no specific treatment has yet been approved. Due to …
