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

, 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

Trace level detections of abrin with high SNR piezoresistive cantilever biosensor

, 2015
In this paper, sensitive detections on abrin are demonstrated in real-time by piezoresistive (PZR) cantilever sensors. With attempts to optimize the design and fabrication of the PZR cantilevers, the voltage fluctuation of the PZR sensors was decreased ...
