Neutralization of ricin with polyclonal ricin antibodies.
Survival percentage of mice dosed iv (A) or ig (B) with ricin were plotted over 160 h post-intoxication. Goat anti-ricin antibodies were introduced iv either prior-to or post-intoxication at indicated times.

The seeds of the Ricinus communis (Castor bean) plant are the source of the economically important commodity castor oil. Castor seeds also contain the proteins ricin and R.

International audienceRicin is internalized after binding at the cell surface via lectin activity of the B-chain recognizing terminal galactose residues. Ricin-A chain is then translocated to the cytosol from various endocytic structures.

The plant toxin ricin binds to terminal galactose-containing cell-surface receptors. The toxin is endocytosed and transported to the Golgi apparatus. Recent evidence suggests that ricin binds to galactosylated calreticulin, which may carry the toxin from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

How ricin and shiga toxin reach the cytosol of target cells : retrotranslocation from the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
A number of protein toxins bind at the surface of mammalian cells and after endocytosis traffic to the endoplasmic reticulum, where the toxic A chains are liberated from the holotoxin.

Routing of internalized ricin and ricin conjugates to the Golgi complex.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis and intracellular routing of native ricin, and of ricin conjugated to colloidal gold (Ri-Au) and to horseradish peroxidase (Ri-HRP), have been studied in cultured MCF-7 and Vero cells by electron microscopical techniques ...

Immunoblot of ricin identified by several anti-ricin antibodies.
2 µg of ricin was migrated in 15% SDS-PAGE and blotted onto PVDF membrane. Primary monoclonal antibodies obtained against the A or B chain were incubated for 1 h to bind to ricin.

Ricin is a toxic protein derived from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) and has potential for bioterrorism or criminal use. Therefore, sensitive and rapid analytical methods are needed for its confirmatory detection in environmental samples.

In vivo evaluation of each neutralising anti-ricin antibody administered after ricin challenge.
(A) Survival curve. CD1 mice were intranasally challenged with 5 LD50 of ricin alone (Δ) or ricin followed by intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg of RB34 antibody (▪), RB37 antibody (•), or RA36 antibody (□) 1 h after ricin challenge. (B) Weight change.
