Insights into the Differential Cytotoxicity of Abrin and Design of a Vaccine Candidate against the Toxin

open access: yes, 2018
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from plants, fungi or bacteria are extremely lethal due to their N-glycosidase activity on eukaryotic ribosomal RNA. As the name indicates, these toxins inactivate ribosomes; thereby inhibit protein synthesis leading

Survival after an Intentional Ingestion of Crushed Abrus Seeds

open access: yesWestern Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008
Abrus precatorius seeds contain one of the most potent toxins known to man. However, because of the seed’s outer hard coat the vast majority of ingestions cause only mild symptoms and typically results in complete recovery.

Calorimetric studies on the stability of the ribosome-inactivating protein abrin II: effects of pH and ligand binding

open access: yes, 1999
The effects of pH and ligand binding on the stability of abrin II, a heterodimeric ribosome-inactivating protein, and its subunits have been studied using high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. At pH7.2, the calorimetric scan consists of two
