Abstract
Many AB toxins elicit a cytotoxic effect involving the inhibition of protein synthesis. In this chapter, we describe a simple cell-based fluorescent assay to detect and quantify the inhibition of protein synthesis. The assay can also identify and characterize toxin inhibitors.Keywords: AB toxin; Ricin; Shiga toxin; Toxicity assay; Toxin detection; Toxin inhibitors; Vero cells
