2080925 9116631 PCTABS00008 The development of a highly-simplified solid-phase colored latex immunobead assay for the detection of ciguatoxin and related polyethers. This procedure was compared with a previously-reported stick enzyme immunoassay. Chi square analysis of two separate experiments 153 and 283 fish of various species gave X2 values of p < 0.001 and < 0.005, respectively. Agreement between the two procedures with 26 fish implicated in ciguatera poisoning was 100 %. A preliminary assessment in the field showed encouraging results. The procedure appears to be simple and applicable to field use. Furthermore, this procedure should be applicable for other antibody-antigen detections, especially low dalton determinants.
