Abstract

The toxic lectin ricin has been covalently labelled with fluorescein isothiocyanate on the enzymatically active A chain. The fluorescein reacted toxin maintains its biological activity. The lateral diffusion coefficient of cell surface bound ricin, studied in two cell lines by fluorescence photobleaching recovery, is D = 1 - 2 x 10 -10 cm 2/s. Fluorescence microscopy provides preliminary evidence for secondary endosomes in the cytoplasm.
