Figure 2. Expressed RTB protects cells against ricin.
(A) Non-transfected HeLa cells (○) and transfected HeLa cells expressing lacZ (▴), hygromycin (▵), RTB-H2 (•) or RTB-H12 (grey circles) were treated with ricin, and their ability to synthesize proteins subsequently was determined. (B) Non-transfected HeLa cells (□) and RTB-H2 cells (▪) were treated with recombinant RTA and their ability to synthesize proteins subsequently was determined.
