Abstract

Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin, is produced from Aspergillus and Penicillium species. It is a nephrotoxin which is very toxic for the kidneys, and normally found in feedstuffs and other feeds. In this study, the monoclonal antibody (MAb) against OTA was produced to determine OTA in feedstuffs. It was found that 3 monoclones (5E7-3F2, 5E7-3G6 and 5E7-G10) reacted with OTA. MAb developed a specific and highly sensitive sandwich ELISA. No difference in quantification in samples was found when compared with a commercial test kit (P>0.05) and 50% binding of standard curve was found at 35 pg/assay. In this study OTA in feedstuff could be detected by MAb, which was self-producing by the ELISA method.
