Abstract
The rate of protein synthesis inhibition is significantly increased by adding excess ricin B chain to target cells independent of the amount of ricin A chain bound to the cell surface membrane. Ricin is a known toxin from albumin of the castor oil bean and contains an A chain and a B chain for binding to receptors. The present invention is concerned with ricin hybrids such as OX-7-ricin A chain and 19E12-F(ab) ricin A chain which were produced by conjugation of the ricin A chains with anti-Thy 1.1 monoclonal antibodies. The conjugates were utilized in pharmaceutical amounts in mice.
