Based on surveillance data for COVID-19 and influenza […]

Purified Immunoglobulin F(ab) 2 Protects Mice and Rhesus Monkeys against Lethal Ricin Intoxication

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal.  Ricin is a highly toxic ribosome-inactivating lectin derived from castor beans. To date, no antidote is available to treat ricin-poisoned patients, and the development of a safe and effective antidote is urgently needed. In this research ricin was prepared and used to construct a mouse model and […]

Next-Generation Vaccines against COVID-19 Variants: Beyond the Spike Protein
