Figure 1

Increased survival of ricin-treated mice following nicotine treatment. Male BALBc mice received an intraperitoneal injection of ricin (50 or 100 µg/kg) followed by a single dose of nicotine (0.4 µg/kg) administered subcutaneously 2 h after the ricin injection. Mouse survival was monitored over a 48-h period. Results are expressed as percentage of surviving mice from 20 animals per group; **P< 0.01 versus ricin (50 µg/kg); ††P< 0.01 versus ricin (100 µg/kg).
