| Ciguatera fish poisoning is an illness suffered by > 50,000 people yearly after consumption of fish containing ciguatoxins (CTXs). One of the current methodologies to detect ciguatoxins in fish is a radiolabeled receptor binding assay (RBA((R))). However, the license requirements and regulations pertaining to radioisotope utilization can limit the applicability of the RBA((R)) in certain labs. A fluorescence based receptor binding assay (RBA((F))) was developed to provide an alternative method of screening fish samples for CTXs in facilities not certified to use radioisotopes. The new assay is based on competition binding between CTXs and fluorescently labeled brevetoxin-2 (BODIPY (R)-PbTx-2) for voltage-gated sodium channel receptors at site 5 instead... |
