Application of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for screening of T-2 toxin-producing Fusarium spp.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Culture filtrates of Fusarium species were subjected without clean-up procedures to an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with anti-T-2 toxin monoclonal antibody. Fusarium sporotrichioides, F. poae, F. tricinctum, and F. culmorum strains were positive for T-2 toxin, with a minimum detection limit of 5 pg per assay (100 pg/ml of culture filtrate), and the assay data correlated well with the gas-liquid chromatographic data.
