Abstract:
Microcystins (MCs) may be group of closely related toxic cyclic heptapeptides produced by common cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Their toxicity could be associated with specific inhibition of intracellular protein phosphatases type-1 and type-2A (PP1 and PP2A, respectively). There are some methods for analyzing and detecting MCs in aquatic environment, such as HPLC, LC-MS, PPIA, and ELISA. This review introduces advances on MCs determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and estimates the prospective development of ELISA for monitoring MCs in natural waters.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
