Abstract:

Tetrodotoxin is one of the most toxic non-protein neurotoxins and can be found in a variety of organisms. Among many detection techniques of tetrodotoxin, immunoassay have been paid extensive attention by scientists due to its high sensitivity and simple operation. In this paper, recent research progress related to immunoassays of tetrodotoxin detection is reviewed, which will be greatly helpful for the development of safe and healthy foods.

Key words: tetrodotoxin, immunoassay, monoclonal antibody, serum
