Abstract:
Aflatoxins, one of highly toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins, are widespread in nature including Chinese materia medica (CMM). A simple, fast, high-throughput and on-site detection method is urgent needed for the screening the aflatoxins content in CMM to guarantee its safety. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gold immune chromatograohic assay (GICA) provide an effective technique for the high-throughput detection and on-site single or a few of samples real-time detection of aflatoxin. There have no standard methods though many immunoassays have been established in some studies. The objective of our work is to make a research on the progress of immunoassay for aflatoxin determination and to provide a reference for the standard establishment.
