Abstract
Due to their acute toxicity, accessibility and history of use, ricin and botulinum toxins are at the present time the most relevant bioterror toxins. We give a brief review of their toxicity and possible uses in bioterror attacks and describe two cases in Denmark in which immunochemical, PCR and mass spectrometric assays developed in-house were used to confirm a foodborne botulinum toxin E case and to identify bovine serum albumin as the powder enclosed in a letter sent to the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.
