Staphylococcal Enterotoxins A and B: Solid-Phase Radioimmunoassay in Food

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

An immunoassay employing 125I labeled enterotoxins A and B and polystyrene tubes coated with specific antibodies was used for detection and quantitation of enterotoxin in food. Ham salad, cheddar cheese, custard, condensed milk, and salami were studied. Enterotoxin was successfully determined in all the foods by simple extraction procedures. The assay was sensitive to 1 to 10 ng of toxin per g of food; nonspecific inhibitions were 15% or less.
