Abrin mediated protein synthesis inhibition and apoptosis in Jurkat cells.
, 2014 (A) Jurkat cells were treated with different concentrations of abrin for 8 h and protein synthesis was measured by incorporation of [3H]-leucine. (B) Jurkat cells were treated with varying concentrations (16 nM – 0.016 nM) of abrin for 12 h.

Abrin-induced apoptosis activates caspase -2, -8 and -3.
, 2014 (A) Jurkat cells were treated with abrin (10 ng/ml) for different time intervals (0–10 h). After the treatment, whole cell lysates were prepared and analysed by Western blot for cleaved caspase-2, -8, -3 and Bid using specific antibodies.

Toxicity and Detection of Ricin and Abrin in Beverages
Journal of Food Protection, 2008 The oral and intraperitoneal (i.p.) toxicities to female BALB/c mice of ricin and abrin in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), spring water, apple juice, and half-and-half (only oral) were examined after brief (2 h) and prolonged (11 to 13 days) storage. The ricin and abrin samples prepared in PBS had oral toxicities consistent with those previous studies,
