CD30 as a Target Molecule in the Diagnosis and Therapy of Lymphomas
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 110-128, January 2026.ABSTRACT The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐receptor superfamily 8 receptor CD30 molecule is expressed in all tumor cells of Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma but is only weakly expressed in a small subset of large lymphoid cells in normal peripheral lymphoid tissues.

Isolation of a human-like antibody fragment (scFv) that neutralizes ricin biological activity
BMC Biotechnology, 2009 Background Ricin is a lethal toxin that inhibits protein synthesis. It is easily extracted from a ubiquitously grown plant, Ricinus communis, and thus readily available for use as a bioweapon (BW). Anti-ricin antibodies provide the only known therapeutic

CDG due to Defective Membrane Transporters: Update
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Congenital disorders of glycosylation are genetic defects in the glycoprotein and glycolipid glycan assembly and attachment. Some 200 CDG have been reported since the first clinical description in 1980. Most CDG are enzymatic deficiencies, but 13 (6.5%) are defects in the ER, Golgi apparatus (GA), and plasma membrane transporters.

A Novel Zak Knockout Mouse with a Defective Ribotoxic Stress Response
Toxins, 2016 Ricin activates the proinflammatory ribotoxic stress response through the mitogen activated protein 3 kinase (MAP3K) ZAK, resulting in activation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38 and JNK1/2.

Recommended Mass Spectrometry-Based Strategies to Identify Ricin-Containing Samples
Toxins, 2015 Ricin is a protein toxin produced by the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) together with a related protein known as R. communis agglutinin (RCA120). Mass spectrometric (MS) assays have the capacity to unambiguously identify ricin and to detect ricin’s

Effects of ricin on primary pulmonary alveolar macrophages
Journal of International Medical Research, 2019 Objective We systematically investigated the cytotoxic effects of ricin in primary pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Methods Primary PAMs were isolated from BALB/c mice.
