Recent incidents in the United States and abroad have heightened concerns about the use of ricin toxin as a bioterrorism agent. In this study, we produced, using a robust plant-based platform, four chimeric toxin-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies that were then evaluated for the ability to passively protect mice from a lethal-dose ricin challenge. The most effective antibody, c-PB10, was further evaluated in mice as a therapeutic following ricin exposure by injection and inhalation.
美国及国外近期发生的事件加剧了人们对蓖麻毒素作为生物恐怖主义制剂使用的担忧。在本研究中,我们利用一个强大的植物平台制备了四种嵌合毒素中和单克隆抗体,然后评估了它们被动保护小鼠免受致死剂量蓖麻毒素攻击的能力。最有效的抗体c-PB10,在小鼠经注射和吸入接触蓖麻毒素后,作为一种治疗药物进行了进一步评估。
