Abstract

G. S. Bignami. A rapid and sensitive hemolysis neutralization assay for palytoxin. Toxicon 31, 817–820, 1993.—The hemolytic action of palytoxin was exploited to develop a simple, sensitive assay with specificity based on a palytoxin neutralizing monoclonal antibody. Suspensions of murine erythrocytes incubated at 37°C in round-bottom microtiter trays formed visible cell pellets which could be lysed by palytoxin. Hemolysis by palytoxin was time- and temperature-dependent, with a 24 hr detection limit of 1 pg/ml. The assay selectively detected palytoxin in a crude extract of Palythoa tuberculosa.
