The toxic plant proteins ricin and abrin induce apoptotic changes in mammalian lymphoid tissues and intestine

The toxins ricin and abrin are potent inhibitors of protein synthesis. Apoptosis has been shown to be induced in some cells by cycloheximide and actinomycin D whereas the process is prevented in other cells by the same agents, both inhibitors of protein synthesis. We were interested to find whether...
