Radioimmunoassays of abrin and ricin in blood.
Radioimmunoassays for abrin and ricin are described. There is little cross-reactivity between the two toxins. The procedures described are capable of determining blood concentrations down to 50-100 pg/ml, permitting identification of abrin and ricin poisoning and monitoring of the blood concentrations in cancer patients treated with these agents.
