Antibody-Mediated Inhibition of Ricin Toxin Retrograde Transport

open access: yesmBio, 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 ...

Role of the Mannose Receptor (CD206) in Innate Immunity to Ricin Toxin

open access: yesToxins, 2011
The entry of ricin toxin into macrophages and certain other cell types in the spleen and liver results in toxin-induced inflammation, tissue damage and organ failure.

Can Large Language Models Design Biological Weapons? Evaluating Moremi Bio [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Advances in AI, particularly LLMs, have dramatically shortened drug discovery cycles by up to 40% and improved molecular target identification. However, these innovations also raise dual-use concerns by enabling the design of toxic compounds. Prompting Moremi Bio Agent without the safety guardrails to specifically design novel toxic substances, our ...

BiP Negatively Affects Ricin Transport

open access: yesToxins, 2013
The AB plant toxin ricin binds both glycoproteins and glycolipids at the cell surface via its B subunit. After binding, ricin is endocytosed and then transported retrogradely through the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
