Abstrakt: BACKGROUND T-2 toxin is a widely distributed mycotoxin in cereals. HT-2 toxin is the major metabolite, which is also a contaminant in cereals. T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin have been identified as having carcinogenic, hepatotoxic, teratogenic and immunotoxic properties. To reduce the risk of contamination, a rapid, highly sensitive and inexpensive assay for the detection is required. RESULTS In this study a high-sensitivity chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay ( CL-ELISA) of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin was developed. With the help of the chemiluminescent substrate, this protocol showed a highly sensitive character with an IC50 as low as 33.28 ng mL−1 and 27.27 ng mL−1 for T-2 and HT-2, respectively. In addition, this method had no cross-reaction with other structurally related mycotoxins. CONCLUSION These results indicated that the developed CL-ELISA could be applied for the detection of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in actual samples without complicated steps. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
