Mycotoxins compound antibody & antigen (hapten) for immunoassay and food/feed safety rapid test

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that can grow on various food crops, particularly grains, nuts, and seeds. Mycotoxins can cause a wide range of adverse effects on human and animal health, such as acute toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and immunosuppression. The identification and targeting of specific mycotoxins have led to the development of several diagnostic and therapeutic applications. GeneMedi’s anti-small molecule antibodies and small molecules competitive antigens products can revolutionize mycotoxin diagnostics and therapeutics. This class of biologics has shown exceptional specificity and efficacy in recognizing and neutralizing mycotoxins, thereby preventing their harmful effects on human health.

The classification of mycotoxins can be based on their chemical structure and source. Major categories of mycotoxins include aflatoxins, trichothecenes, ochratoxins, and zearalenone, among others. Each category comprises several important proteins with distinct functions and therapeutic applications. Aflatoxins, produced by Aspergillus species, can cause liver cancer in humans and animals. GeneMedi’s anti-small molecule antibodies and small molecules competitive antigens product can be used for detecting and quantifying aflatoxins and developing therapeutic interventions, such as immunotherapy, for the prevention and treatment of aflatoxin poisoning. Trichothecenes, produced by Fusarium species, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and oral lesions in humans and animals. GeneMedi’s product can be used for the detection and quantification of trichothecenes and developing therapeutic interventions, such as monoclonal antibodies, for the prevention and treatment of trichothecene poisoning. Ochratoxins, produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species, can cause kidney damage and cancer in humans and animals. GeneMedi’s product can be used for the detection and quantification of ochratoxins and developing therapeutic interventions, such as competitive inhibitors, for the prevention and treatment of ochratoxin poisoning.

Overall, GeneMedi’s anti-small molecule antibodies and small molecules competitive antigens products offer extensive potential in the field of mycotoxin diagnostics and therapeutics. The identification and targeting of specific mycotoxins offer opportunities for precision medicine and personalized therapies. GeneMedi’s product has the potential to revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat mycotoxin poisoning, thereby improving patient outcomes and quality of life. GeneMedi's product can detect the small molecules of MYCOTOXINS from different samples using ELISA, Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay, Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay (TINIA), immunonephelometry, and POCT, which greatly enhances the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of mycotoxin detection.
