A substance that opposes or neutralizes ricin, a highly toxic protein found in castor beans.
From anti- (against) + ricin (from ricinus, the Latin name for castor plant). Biochemical term developed in toxicology research.
Ricin is so toxic that one microscopic grain can kill you, so antiricin research is literally about creating antidotes to one of nature's deadliest poisons—it's toxicology's arms race!
