Depositor Comments
Ricin Toxin A Chain (RTA) is the catalytic domain of the ricin toxin. Due to its lack of the B-chain necessary for cell entry, RTA alone in solution is generally not considered a toxic protein to animals and humans.
These plasmids were created by your colleagues. Please acknowledge the Principal Investigator, cite the article in which the plasmids were described, and include Addgene in the Materials and Methods of your future publications.
