Antibody-Mediated Inhibition of Ricin Toxin Retrograde Transport

mBio, 2014
Ricin is a member of the ubiquitous family of plant and bacterial AB toxins that gain entry into the cytosol of host cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis and retrograde traffic through the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER ...
