Popis: Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxic secondary metabolite of several fungal species included in the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. A radioimmunoassay for this toxin is described. The reagents included antibodies against a coupling product of ochratoxin A and bovine IgG. 125I-labelled egg-albumin-ochratoxin A was employed as radioactive antigen. Free ochratoxin A dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline inhibited immunoprecipitation of the radioactive antigen. The procedure showed a lower limit of detection at 20 ppb of ochratoxin A.
