A fluorescence polarization immunoassay(FPIA)was developed for the analysis ofaflatoxins(AFs)using an anti-aflatoxin B1(AFB1)monoclonal antibody and a novel fluorescein-labeled AFB1tracer.The FPIA showed an IC50 value of 23.33ng/mL with a limit of detection of 13.12 ng/mL for AFB1.The cross-reactivities of AFB1,AFB2,AFG1,AFG2,AFM1,and AFM2 with the antibody were100%,65.7%,143%,23.5%,111.4%,and 2%,respectively.The group-specificity of anti-AFB1mAb indicated that the FPIA could potentially be used in a screening method for the detection of total AFs,albeit not AFG2 and AFM2.The total time required for analyzing 96 samples in one microplate was less than 5 min.This study demonstrates the potential usefulness of the FPIA as a rapid and simple technique for monitoring AFs.
