Polyclonal antibodies were produced for the development of competitive enzyme-linked immunoassays for use in quantifying yessotoxins in shellfish, algal cells, and culture supernatants. Immunizing and plate coating antigens were prepared by derivatization of yessotoxin either by ozonolysis or bromination and conjugation to proteins. Two assays that were the most sensitive for yessotoxin were optimized and characterized. Cross-reactivity studies indicated that the antibodies raised have broad specificity and that binding to analogues was strongly affected by changes to the A-ring and, to a lesser extent, the K-ring regions of the toxin molecule. ELISA provides a sensitive and rapid analytical method that is suitable for screening large numbers of samples and detects all the yessotoxin analogues that the European Commission currently requires shellfish to be tested for. The assay limit of quantitation for yessotoxin in whole shellfish flesh is 75 mug/kg; therefore, assay sensitivity is sufficient to measure toxin levels well below the maximum permitted level set by the European Commission. The antibodies produced can be used in additional applications such as the immunolocalization of yessotoxins in shellfish and preparation of immunoaffinity columns.
