Abstract:
Preparation of purified and Eu-labeled antibodies specific for aflatoxins is described. Their use is illustrated by a solid-phase competitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay, results of which were correlated with those of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on use of the unmodified antibody to aflatoxin. This procedure is discussed as a quick, sensitive, and reliable immunoassay for use in mycotoxin screening in foodstuffs and body fluids.
