Antibody-Based Detection of Toxins of Biological Origin.

Abstract

A Fiber optic evanescent fluorosensor was used to detect the presence of toxins of biological origin. A direct competition assay was used for cholera toxin and staphylococcus entertoxin B, and an indirect competition assay for cholera, botulinum toxoid A and ricin. Detection of toxins for both methods was in the nanomolar range.
