Resistance against ricin-induced apoptosis in a brefeldin A-resistant mutant cell line (BER-40) of Vero cells.

Abstract excerpt

We have found that a brefeldin A (BFA)-resistant mutant cell line derived from Vero cells (BER-40) is highly resistant to ricin-induced apoptosis as compared with parental Vero cells. In BER-40 cells, all apoptotic events caused by ricin including cytolysis, nuclear morphological changes, and DNA fragmentation occur to a lesser extent than in Vero cells, even though both cell lines show similar sensitivities to...
