Ricin B Antibody (RB944) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Ricin B from Ricinus communis by western blotting (WB). Ricin B, also known as Ricin B chain (RTB), plays a crucial role in ricin toxicity by facilitating A chain entry into target cells. RTB binds specifically to beta-D-galactopyranoside moieties present on glycoprotein surfaces, which enables A chain internalization and subsequent toxic effects. RTB′s interaction with cell surface carbohydrates enables delivery of the enzymatically active A chain and highlights the significance of carbohydrate recognition in cellular processes. Understanding RTB′s structure and function remains vital for developing therapeutic strategies against ricin toxicity and advancing research in cell biology and immunology. Anti-Ricin B antibody (RB944) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying ricin toxicity mechanisms and lectin roles in cellular interactions.
