Title: Development of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Analysis of Total Aflatoxins Based on Monoclonal Antibody Reactive with Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2. Author: Yamasaki T, Miyake S, Sato N, Hirakawa Y, Iwasa S, Narita H, Watanabe T. Journal: Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi; 2018; 59(5):200-205. PubMed ID: 30429417. Abstract: A direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) was developed for the determination of total amount of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2), using a mouse monoclonal antibody that shows similar reactivity to each of these AFs. The working range of the developed dc-ELISA was 50-230 pg/mL for AFB1, 50-270 pg/mL for AFB2, 60-390 pg/mL for AFG1 and 65-700 pg/mL for AFG2. The recovery of AFs from spiked roasted peanuts was 98%. Further, when 4 samples actually contaminated with AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2 were examined, the results of dc-ELISA were highly correlated with the values assigned by the Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme. The developed dc-ELISA appears to be suitable for the determination of total AFs at concentrations around the maximum permitted level (10 μg/kg for all foods) in Japan.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
