Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) proved to be a fast and simple method for the detection of mycotoxins and other undesired contaminants in food and feed. The present study is focused on the optimisation and exploitation of the egg yolk antibody technology in order to develop competitive ELISAs for the detection of mycotoxins in cereals. Due to its importance as one of the most relevant Fusarium mycotoxins, the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON) was selected as representative. Chickens were immunised with different protein conjugates performing varying booster intervals. The antibodies were isolated by the poly(ethylene glycol) precipitation method according to Polson. By use of these antibodies an indirect competitive ELISA was developed for the detection of DON. First investigations of naturally contaminated wheat samples showed a good correspondence with results obtained by GC-ECD when calibration in blank wheat extracts was performed.
