Advancement of abrin toxin bioforensics capabilities
Abrin toxin, located in the seeds of Abrus precatorius, is a potent Type II Ribosome-Inactivating Protein (RIP) A-B subunit toxin that has acquired a heightened biothreat profile over the past decade. Significant research efforts must be made in order to develop abrin bioforensics diagnostic response capabilities to the level which is currently in ...

Survival after an Intentional Ingestion of Crushed Abrus Seeds
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.
