A Monoclonal–Monoclonal Antibody Based Capture ELISA for Abrin

Toxins, 2017
Abrin, one of the most highly potent toxins in the world, is derived from the plant, Abrus precatorius. Because of its high toxicity, it poses potential bioterror risks.

Energy distribution in nonaxisymmetric magnetic Taylor-Couette flow

, 2007
Azimuthal magnetorotational instability is a mechanism that generates nonaxisymmetric field pattern. Nonlinear simulations in an infinite Taylor-Couette system with current-free external field show, that not only the linearly unstable mode m=1 appears ...

A biophysical elucidation for less toxicity of Agglutinin than Abrin-a from the Seeds of Abrus Precatorius in consequence of crystal structure

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
X-ray crystal structure determination of agglutinin from abrus precatorius in Taiwan is presented. The crystal structure of agglutinin, a type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) from the seeds of Abrus precatorius in Taiwan, has been determined from ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

From WGS to gels: Development and testing of PCR primers targeting toxic Digitalis in support of food safety

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 5, September-October 2025.
Abstract Premise This study capitalized on a library of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms created via whole genome sequencing (WGS) to develop and test a PCR assay for detecting toxic Digitalis species in food products. Complex foods can be difficult to analyze, but safeguarding consumer well‐being and public health necessitates that products regulated ...

Two-Photon Doppler cooling of alkaline-earth-metal and ytterbium atoms

, 2003
A new possibility of laser cooling of alkaline-earth-metal and Ytterbium atoms using a two-photon transition is analyzed. We consider a $^{1}S_{0}$ - $^{1}S_{0}$ transition, with excitation in near resonance with the $^{1}P_{1}$ level.

Abrin Poisoning in an 18-Month-Old Child [PDF]

American Journal of Case Reports, 2015
When discussing known poisons and their clinical consequences, few physicians are aware of the deadly poison abrin. The common symptoms of abrin toxicity include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea with or without bloody stool. However, with an estimated fatal human dose of less than 1 microgram/kg, death due to complications such as liver ...

Antibodies in breast milk: Pro‐bodies designed for healthy newborn development

Immunological Reviews, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 192-204, November 2024.
Summary This manuscript sheds light on the impact of maternal breast milk antibodies on infant health. Milk antibodies prepare and protect the newborn against environmental exposure, guide and regulate the offspring's immune system, and promote transgenerational adaptation of the immune system to its environment.
