An affinity purification method that isolates T-2 toxin-specific IgY utilizing a T-2-toxin-immobilized column was developed. The T-2 toxin was covalently coupled via a carbonyldiimidazole-activated hydroxyl functional group to amine-activated sepharose beads. The affinity-purified IgY was characterized by gel electrophoresis, fast protein liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, surface plasmon resonance and mass spectrometry. A competitive inhibition ELISA (CI-ELISA) was performed using affinity-purified IgY with a T-2 toxin detection sensitivity of 30 ng/mL, which falls within the maximum permissible limit of 100 ng/mL. The cross reactivity of IgY towards deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisin B1 and HT-2 was significantly reduced after affinity purification. A surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based inhibition assay was also applied for quantitative determination of T-2 toxin in spiked wheat samples. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of utilizing this IgY-based assay for the detection of T-2 toxin in food samples.

T-2 toxin, a prevalent mycotoxin, represents a notable global public health risk. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and ferroptosis are involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes and are implicated in goat immunity. However, the impact of T-2 toxin on NETs release, ferroptosis, and their interplay have not been previously documented.

Heavy metals and mycotoxins are important contaminants in food pollution. Sensitive, reliable, and rapid detection of heavy metals and mycotoxins is crucial for human health. In this work, imidazole-functionalized aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl) ethylene (TPPE) was used as a precise and specific probe for Ag detection, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.

T-2 toxin contamination in food and feed is a growing global concern, with its toxic effects on developing cartilage remaining poorly understood. In this study, we constructed an animal model using 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats, which were administered T-2 toxin (200 ng/g body weight per day) by gavage for one month. Histological analysis showed a significant reduction in hypertrophic chondrocytes and increased caspase-3 expression and TUNEL staining in the deep cartilage zone of T-2 toxin-treated rats.

Co-occurrence of multiple mycotoxins is a growing global food safety concern due to their harmful effects on humans and animals. This study developed an eco-friendly sample preparation method and an innovative multiplex microarray-based lateral flow immunoassay, using a novel portable reader for on-site simultaneous determination of five regulated mycotoxins-aflatoxin B, T-2 toxin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and fumonisin B in rice. The eco-friendly and ultrafast extraction procedure utilizes a bio-based solvent.
