Antibodies against deoxynivalenol-triacetate (Tri-Ac-DON) was prepared by immunizing rabbits with a hemisuccinate derivative of 7,8 dihydroxycalonectrin (DHC) conjugated to bovine serum albumin. Using tritiated Tri-Ac-DON as the testing ligand, antibody titers were observed as early as 4 wk after immunization. Useful antibody for radioimmunoassay (RIA) of Tri-Ac-DON was obtained from the rabbits 7 wk after immunization, with one booster injection. Competitive RIA revealed that the antibody was most specific for Tri-Ac-DON. The relative cross-reactivity of this antibody with Tri-Ac-DON, T-2 toxin tetra-acetate, 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol and acetyl-T-2 toxin was 1 (most cross-reactive), 0.003, 0.002, and 0.001, respectively. Practically no cross-reactivity was observed with deoxynivalenol (DON), diacetoxyscirpenol, nivalenol and T-2 toxin. The detection limits for Tri-Ac-DON by RIA was about 0.1 ng/assay. The use of this antibody for quantitation and confirmation of DON in cereals after acetylation of sample extracts is proposed.

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.
