Murine MCA Ricin Conjugate
An immunotoxin consisting of a murine monoclonal antibody (MCA) conjugated to the toxin ricin. The monoclonal antibody component binds to cell surface antigens, thereby targeting delivery of cytotoxic ricin to a specific cell type. The ricin component binds to cells and disrupts ribosomal activity and protein synthesis and induces cell cycle arrest. (NCI Thesaurus)
