Abstract excerpt
We have studied the cytotoxicity of ricin in cells treated with brefeldin A (BFA), which dramatically disrupts the structure of the Golgi apparatus causing Golgi content and membrane to redistribute to the ER. BFA inhibits the cytotoxicity of ricin in Chinese hamster ovary, normal rat kidney, and Vero cells and abolishes the enhancement of ricin cytotoxicity by NH4Cl, nigericin, swainsonine, and tunicamycin or by...
