Neutralization of ricin with polyclonal ricin antibodies.

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Toxicon [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

RICIN-BINDING PROTEINS ALONG THE ENDOCYTIC PATHWAY: THE MAJOR ENDOSOMAL RICIN-BINDING PROTEIN IS ENDOSOME-SPECIFIC

open access: yes, 1997
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.

Retrograde transport of ricin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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.

open access: yes, 1986
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.

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Anal Biochem [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

open access: yes, 2013
(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.

Hybridoma cells containing intracellular anti-ricin antibodies show ricin meets secretory antibody before entering the cytosol

open access: yes, 1987
Hybridoma cells which synthesize monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that block ricin toxicity were 50-300-fold resistant to ricin compared with other hybridomas.
