SIMPLIFIED SOLID-PHASE IMMUNOBEAD ASSAY FOR DETECTION OF CIGUATOXIN AND RELATED POLYETHERS

摘要

the invention relates to a simplified immunoassay is carried out in the solid phase, with coloured latex beads, which is used to detect ciguatoxin and related polyethers. this method was compared with an immunoassay carried out previously, and with the help of a rod made of the enzyme.chi square analysis of two separate experiments on different fish species (283 gave values x2 p 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). the correlation between the processes involved for 26 fish poisoning ciguatera poisoning was 100%. a preliminary assessment in this area has yielded encouraging results.the process is simple, and it can be applied to the field of use. in addition, this method could be applied to other detections of antibodies and antigens, particularly those concerning the determinants of low dalton.
