Abstract

An indirect competitive Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assay (AlphaLISA) was established by using anti-deoxynivalenol (DON) polyclonal antibody and coating antigen DON-bovine serum albumin (BSA) for detection of DON in cereals. DON-BSA was coated on Acceptor bead, the kit also contains donor bead sensitizer particles coated with streptomycin. The optional test conditions and analytical performance of the method were studied. Working concentration ranged from 0.007 to 100 ng/ml and the sensitivity for detection was 0.007 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-batch coefficient of variation (CV) of the assay were both below 5%. The recovery rate of artificially contaminated cereals ranged from 81.1% to 110.9% while the mean recovery of DON from cereals was 94.4%. This study suggests that DON-AlphaLISA method is a good method with high sensitivity and rapidity for quantitative analyzing DON in cereals.
