Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is a neurotoxin mainly produced by Pseudo-nitzschia diatom, which belongs to the genera Rhomboida. It can combine with the receptors of glutamate of neurotransmitters, then affecting the normal nerve signal transmission of the organism and causing nervous system disorders. However, as a natural marine drug, DA can also be used for pest prevention and control. Although the distribution of DA in the world has already been reported in the previous reviews, the time and location of its first discovery and the specific information are not complete. Therefore, the review systematically summarizes the first reported situation of DA in various countries (including species, discovery time, and collection location). Furthermore, we update and analyze the factors affecting DA production, including phytoplankton species, growth stages, bacteria, nutrient availability, trace metals, and so on. These factors may indirectly affect the growth environment or directly affect the physiological activities of the cells, then affect the production of DA. Given that DA is widely distributed in the environment, we summarize the main technical methods for the determination of DA, such as bioassay, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), biosensor, and so on, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method used so far, which adds more new knowledge in the literature about DA until now. Finally, the DA research forecast and its industrial applications were prospected to prevent its harm and fully explore its potential value.

Abstract
Aquatic toxins are a group of toxic compounds produced by several types of freshwater and marine algae and cyanobacteria and transported through the food chains of water bodies. Potential contamination of aquaculture products (raw and processed fish and seafood) with aquatic toxins requires the use of efficient screening methods for their control. In this study, a multiplex immunochromatographic test system for the simultaneous detection of three aquatic toxins-phycotoxins domoic acid (DA) and okadaic acid (OA), and cyanotoxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR)-is for the first time developed. For this, a competitive indirect immunochromatographic analysis (ICA) based on gold-labeled secondary antibodies was carried out. The LODs/cutoffs/working ranges of the ICA were 0.05/0.3/0.07-0.29, 1.3/100/3.2-58.2, and 0.1/2.0/0.2-1.1 ng/mL for MC-LR, DA, and OA, respectively. The assay duration was 18 min. The developed test system was used to analyze water samples from natural sources (salt and fresh water) and fish samples. For sample preparation of water, simple dilution with a buffer was proposed; for fish samples, methanol-water extraction was utilized. It was demonstrated that the triple LFIA specifically detected target aquatic toxins with recoveries of 85.0-121.5%. The developed multiplex LFIA can be considered a promising analytical solution for the rapid, easy, and sensitive control of water and food safety.

Abstract
In this investigation, a double immunochromatographic analysis (ICA) of two relevant phycotoxins, domoic acid (DA) and okadaic acid (OA), was developed for the first time. The ICA was performed in the indirect competitive format using gold nanoparticles conjugated with anti-species antibodies. Under optimal conditions, the instrumental detection limits/cutoffs for simultaneous detection of DA and OA were 1.2/100 and 0.1/2.5 ng/mL, respectively. The time of the assay was 18 min. The ICA was applied to test seawater and a large panel of seafood, including mussels, tiger shrimps, octopuses, whelks, crabs, and scallops. The proposed simple sample preparation method for seafood takes only 20 min. For seawater, a dilution by buffer was implemented. The assay recoveries varied from 80.8% to 124.5%. The competitive potential of the proposed technique as a tool to control natural water and seafood samples is determined by its simplicity, rapidity, and sensitivity.

Abstract
A simple and efficient sample extraction and preconcentration method based on reversed-phase ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (RP-IL-DLLME) had been developed and used to quantify the domoic acid in human urine samples. The analysis was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography and photodiode array detection. During the procedure, hydrophilic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C4mim] BF4 as dispersive solvent and NaOH solution was chosen as extraction solvent. Some important parameters in the method were investigated to get high enrichment factors. Under optimal conditions, the linearity of the method was in the range of 0.1–10 ng mL−1 and the correlation coefficient was above 0.9996. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the developed methods for intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 5) precision ranged from 1.9 to 3.9%. Meanwhile, limit of detection (LOD) was 0.03 ng mL−1(S/N = 3) and that of quantification (LOQ) was 0.1 ng mL−1(S/N = 10) with the enrichment factors (EF) being 230. Eventually, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of Dominic acid in human urine samples.

Abstract
A lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) of phycotoxin domoic acid (DA) contaminating seawater and marine organisms was developed in this investigation. Nine clones of monoclonal antibodies against DA were produced and characterized. The test system was implemented in the indirect competitive format, where gold nanoparticles as a marker were conjugated with secondary antibodies. The developed test system allows for the detection of DA with a cutoff of 60 ng mL-1 and an instrumental detection limit of 1.4 ng mL-1 within 15 min. The LFIA was applied to detect DA in seawater, mussels, shrimps, and octopuses. A simple method of seafood sample preparation was proposed. The entire analytical cycle, from obtaining a sample to the estimation of final results, takes only 30 min. The assay recoveries ranged from 88.5% to 124%. The developed analytical method is a promising solution for rapid on-site monitoring of marine toxicants in water and food throughout the farm-to-fork chain.

Abstract
Domoic acid, namely amnesic shellfish toxin, is a highly neurotoxic substance to marine animals and humankind. To reduce the incidence of poisoning accidents, the exploitation of specific and rapid detection method for domoic acid monitoring is highly required. Herein, an electrochemical molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor based on polydopamine-reduced graphene oxide/polyacrylamide composite (PDA-rGO/PAM) was constructed successfully to detect domoic acid. The domoic acid molecule could be recognized in imprinted cavities of PAM reversibly through hydrogen bonding. PDA-rGO promoted the loading capacity of PAM and improved the charge transfer rate, which amplified the electrical signal response of the MIP sensor. The screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with PDA-rGO/PAM displayed satisfactory response toward toxin contaminated sample at a linear range from 1 to 600 nM and a low detection limit of 0.31 nM, demonstrating the prospective application of the transducer as a portable sensing platform for the on-site detection of hazardous marine biotoxin. Moreover, benefiting from the superior specificity and stability of MIP, the fabricated sensor could be utilized to detect the domoic acid content in mussel extracts directly without complex pretreatment operation.

Abstract
In the past twenty years marine biotoxin analysis in routine regulatory monitoring has advanced significantly in Europe (EU) and other regions from the use of the mouse bioassay (MBA) towards the high-end analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with tandem mass spectrometry (MS). Previously, acceptance of these advanced methods, in progressing away from the MBA, was hindered by a lack of commercial certified analytical standards for method development and validation. This has now been addressed whereby the availability of a wide range of analytical standards from several companies in the EU, North America and Asia has enhanced the development and validation of methods to the required regulatory standards. However, the cost of the high-end analytical equipment, lengthy procedures and the need for qualified personnel to perform analysis can still be a challenge for routine monitoring laboratories. In developing regions, aquaculture production is increasing and alternative inexpensive Sensitive, Measurable, Accurate and Real-Time (SMART) rapid point-of-site testing (POST) methods suitable for novice end users that can be validated and internationally accepted remain an objective for both regulators and the industry. The range of commercial testing kits on the market for marine toxin analysis remains limited and even more so those meeting the requirements for use in regulatory control. Individual assays include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and lateral flow membrane-based immunoassays (LFIA) for EU-regulated toxins, such as okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxins (DTXs), saxitoxin (STX) and its analogues and domoic acid (DA) in the form of three separate tests offering varying costs and benefits for the industry. It can be observed from the literature that not only are developments and improvements ongoing for these assays, but there are also novel assays being developed using upcoming state-of-the-art biosensor technology. This review focuses on both currently available methods and recent advances in innovative methods for marine biotoxin testing and the end-user practicalities that need to be observed. Furthermore, it highlights trends that are influencing assay developments such as multiplexing capabilities and rapid POST, indicating potential detection methods that will shape the future market.

Abstract
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin mainly responsible for severe neurological illness, and okadaic acid (OA) is another important lipophilic toxin to humans. In this study, we developed a gold strip for simultaneous detection of OA and TTX in real seafood samples. In the assay, the prepared nanoparticles (about 40 nm) was applied to conjugate with specific monoclonal antibodies against OA and TTX, and the resulted mixtures were used to capture its corresponding toxin in test strip. OA and TTX conjugates were coated as two test lines on the nitrocellulose membrane, and goat anti-mouse IgG was used to form the control line, forming three lines on the test strip. The visual detection limits (vLOD) of this immunoassay for OA and TTX were 0.75 and 15 ng/mL, respectively, and no cross reactions were observed in the process of detection. The visual assay for OA and TTX detection could be finished within 10 min. This study might provide a feasible method and good understanding for rapidly simultaneous detection for toxins based on immunoassay.

Development and Application of Immunoaffinity Column Purification and Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Determination of Domoic Acid in Shellfish. Toxins (Basel) 2019; 11:toxins11020083. [PMID: 30717167 PMCID: PMC6409838 DOI: 10.3390/toxins11020083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2018] [Revised: 01/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is a neurotoxin associated with amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Though LC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has become the preferred method for DA determination, traditional sample pretreatment is still labor-intensive. In this study, a simple, efficient and selective method for LC-MS/MS analysis of DA in shellfish was established by optimizing clean-up procedures on a self-assembly immunoaffinity column (IAC). Shellfish was extracted with 75% methanol twice and diluted with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 1:2). The mixture was purified on IAC as follows: preconditioned with PBS, loaded with sample, washed by 50% MeOH, and eluted with MeOH containing 2% ammonium hydroxide. Concentrated analyte was monitored by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using electrospray (ESI) positive ion mode throughout the LC gradient elution. Based on the post-extraction addition method, matrix effects for various shellfish matrices were found to be less than 8%. The developed method was fully validated by choosing mussel as the representative matrix. The method had a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 µg·g−1, showed excellent linear correlation in the range of 0.05–40 µg·g−1, and obtained ideal recoveries (91–94%), intra-day RSDs (6–8%) and inter-day RSDs (3–6%). The method was successfully applied to DA determination in 59 shellfish samples, with a detection rate of 10% and contaminated content of 0.1–14.9 µg·g−1.

Abstract
Antibodies against citrinin (CTN) were generated from rabbits, which were injected with CTN-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). This work involved the development of a sensitive competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) and a rapid gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic strip (immunostrip) method for analyzing CTN in Monascus-fermented food. CTN at a concentration of 5.0 ng/mL caused 50% inhibition (IC50) of CTN-horseradish peroxidase (CTN-HRP) binding to the antibodies in the cdELISA. The capable on-site detection of CTN was accomplished by a rapid antibody-gold nanoparticle immunostrip with a detection limit of 20 ng/mL and that was completed within 15 min. A close inspection of 19 Monascus-fermented foods by cdELISA confirmed that 14 were contaminated with citrinin at levels from 28.6⁻9454 ng/g. Further analysis with the immunostrip is consistent with those results obtained using cdELISA. Both means are sensitive enough for the rapid examination of CTN in Monascus-fermented food products.

The Preparation and Identification of a Monoclonal Antibody against Domoic Acid and Establishment of Detection by Indirect Competitive ELISA. Toxins (Basel) 2017; 9:toxins9080250. [PMID: 28817087 PMCID: PMC5577584 DOI: 10.3390/toxins9080250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2017] [Revised: 08/11/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is a potent toxin, marine biotoxin, and primarily produced by Pseudo-nitzschia. The DA hapten was coupled with bovine serum albumin (BSA), and ovalbumin (OVA) as carrier proteins. DA-BSA conjugate was used as immunogen and DA-OVA as coating antigen. Cell fusion between spleen cells and sp2/0 myeloma cells developed 1C3 hybridoma clone producing 1C3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). Hybridoma was injected into the mice to produce ascites, and further purified by caprylic acid/ammonium sulfate method. The mAb was of IgG3 subclass, and was specific to DA with high affinity (2.5 × 108 L/mol). Moreover, western blot exhibited significant specificity to the DA antigens. Indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) showed DA working range of 0.006–0.2 ng/mL. The IC50 was 0.03 ng/mL with low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.006 ng/mL. Average DA recovery from spiked shellfish extract was 100.56 ± 2.8% with the coefficient variation of 0.01–0.1%. Hence, mAb producing 1C3 hybridoma was successfully developed and could be used to detect DA in contaminated samples.

Abstract
Research in biosensing approaches as alternative techniques for food diagnostics for the detection of chemical contaminants and foodborne pathogens has increased over the last twenty years. The key component of such tests is the biorecognition element whereby polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies still dominate the market. Traditionally the screening of sera or cell culture media for the selection of polyclonal or monoclonal candidate antibodies respectively has been performed by enzyme immunoassays. For niche toxin compounds, enzyme immunoassays can be expensive and/or prohibitive methodologies for antibody production due to limitations in toxin supply for conjugate production. Automated, self-regenerating, chip-based biosensors proven in food diagnostics may be utilised as rapid screening tools for antibody candidate selection. This work describes the use of both single channel and multi-channel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors for the selection and characterisation of antibodies, and their evaluation in shellfish tissue as standard techniques for the detection of domoic acid, as a model toxin compound. The key advantages in the use of these biosensor techniques for screening hybridomas in monoclonal antibody production were the real time observation of molecular interaction and rapid turnaround time in analysis compared to enzyme immunoassays. The multichannel prototype instrument was superior with 96 analyses completed in 2h compared to 12h for the single channel and over 24h for the ELISA immunoassay. Antibodies of high sensitivity, IC50's ranging from 4.8 to 6.9ng/mL for monoclonal and 2.3-6.0ng/mL for polyclonal, for the detection of domoic acid in a 1min analysis time were selected. Although there is a progression for biosensor technology towards low cost, multiplexed portable diagnostics for the food industry, there remains a place for laboratory-based SPR instrumentation for antibody development for food diagnostics as shown herein.

Abstract
The dinoflagellates of Alexandrium genus are known to be producers of paralytic shellfish toxins that regularly impact the shellfish aquaculture industry and fisheries. Accurate detection of Alexandrium including Alexandrium minutum is crucial for environmental monitoring and sanitary issues. In this study, we firstly developed a quantitative lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using super-paramagnetic nanobeads for A. minutum whole cells. This dipstick assay relies on two distinct monoclonal antibodies used in a sandwich format and directed against surface antigens of this organism. No sample preparation is required. Either frozen or live cells can be detected and quantified. The specificity and sensitivity are assessed by using phytoplankton culture and field samples spiked with a known amount of cultured A. minutum cells. This LFIA is shown to be highly specific for A. minutum and able to detect reproducibly 10(5)cells/L within 30min. The test is applied to environmental samples already characterized by light microscopy counting. No significant difference is observed between the cell densities obtained by these two methods. This handy super-paramagnetic lateral flow immnunoassay biosensor can greatly assist water quality monitoring programs as well as ecological research.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a common marine biotoxin that accumulates in bivalves and causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP). This study generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific to OA from a hybridoma cell line, 6B1A3, which was obtained by fusion of myeloma cells (P3/NS1/1-AG4-1) with spleen cells isolated from a BALB/c mouse immunized with OA-γ-globulin. The 6B1A3 mAb belongs to the immunoglobulin G1 (κ chain) isotype. Both competitive direct and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were established for characterization of the antibody. The concentrations causing 50% inhibition of binding of OA-horseradish peroxidase to the antibody by OA were calculated to be 0.077 ng/mL in the cdELISA. A rapid and sensitive mAb-based gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic strip was also established. This proposed strip has a detection limit of 5 ng/mL for OA and can be finished in 10 min. Extensive analyses of 20 seafood samples with ELISA revealed that 10 were slightly contaminated with OA, with a mean concentration of 0.892 ng/g. Analysis of OA in shellfish samples showed that data acquired by the immunochromatographic strip agreed well with those acquired by the ELISA. The mAb-based ELISA and immunochromatographic strip assay developed in this study have adequate sensitivity and accuracy for rapid screening of OA in shellfish samples.

Abstract
Natural toxin (for example mycotoxin and phycotoxin) contamination of food is of safety and economic concern, so much effort is devoted to the development of screening methods which enable the toxins to be continuously and widely monitored in food and feed. More generally speaking, rapid and non-instrumental assays for detection of a variety of food contaminants are generating ever-increasing scientific and technological interest because they enable high-throughput, economical, on-site monitoring of such contaminants. Among rapid methods for first-level screening of food contaminants, lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA), also named immunochromatographic assay or immune-gold colloid immunoassay, has recently attracted scientific and industrial interest because of its attractive property of enabling very rapid, one-step, in-situ analysis. This review focuses on new aspects of the development and optimization of lateral-flow devices for mycotoxin and phycotoxin detection, including strategies for management of matrix interference and, particularly, for investigation of the improvements achieved by signal-enhancing strategies or by application of non-gold nanoparticle signal reporters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maize contaminated with mycotoxin fumonisin B1 poses a global threat to agricultural production. In this study, polyclonal antibodies (pAb) specific to fumonisin B1 were generated from rabbits immunised with fumonisin B1-keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH). These antibodies were used to establish a sensitive competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) and gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic strip for detecting fumonisin B1 levels in maize-based foods and feeds. RESULTS In cdELISA, fumonisins B1, B2 and B3 at concentrations of 0.42, 0.58 and 81.5 ng mL(-1) respectively caused 50% inhibition (IC(50)) of binding of fumonisin B1-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to the antibodies. Effective on-site detection of fumonisin B1 was achieved by developing a rapid and sensitive pAb-based gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic strip. This strip had a detection limit of 5 ng mL(-1) for fumonisin B1 in maize-based samples. Additionally, the whole analytical process could be completed within 10 min. Close examination of 15 maize-based samples by cdELISA revealed that 11 were fumonisin-positive, with a mean concentration of 435 +/- 20.1 ng g(-1). These results correlated well with those obtained by immunochromatographic strip. CONCLUSION Both cdELISA and immunochromatographic strip methods established in this study are sensitive for rapid detection of fumonisins in agricultural commodities.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is the principal neurotoxin responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) and is produced, among other species, by marine diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. In this work, a method for the determination of dissolved DA and its isomers present in seawater has been developed, based on a solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks followed by rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. SPE provided sample desalting and 20-fold concentration of dissolved DA, while complete resolution between DA and its isomers was achieved in less than 3 min with rapid resolution chromatography thus providing high sample throughput. Additionally, a simple on-column chromatographic procedure allowed head-column trapping of DA providing 15-fold higher sensitivity. The conditions developed in this work have shown appropriate quality parameters in a within-laboratory validation. The detection limit was 0.02 ng mL(-1) for the whole method, while trueness ranged between 92.1% and 110.6% recovery and precision between 8.4% and 19.0% relative standard deviation. Expanded uncertainty measured was 1.92, 0.23 and 0.03 for 10.0, 1.0 and 0.1 ng mL(-1) DA concentrations, respectively, which demonstrated the accuracy of this method for confirmation and quantification of DA present at very low concentration levels in seawater.
