Fig. 2. The effect of Rab6A-T27N on the sensitivity of cells to Shiga toxin and
ricin. Vero cells were either mock transfected (
) or transfected with a
plasmid encoding mutant Rab6A-T27N (
) for 18 hours and treated with
various concentrations of Shiga toxin (A) or ricin (B) for 2.5 hours. Tran
35S-label was added for 30 minutes and the incorporation of
radioactivity into acid-insoluble material was determined as described in
Materials and Methods. Each point is the average of three independent
experiments.
