Brevetoxin Metabolites: Emerging Toxins in French Shellfish Determined by LC-MS/MS and ELISA [PDF]
Marine DrugsIn France, as part of the monitoring program for the emergence of marine toxins in shellfish (EMERGTOX), brevetoxins (BTX-2, BTX-3) were first detected in shellfish from Corsica (Mediterranean Sea) in 2018.

Chemiluminescent Receptor Binding Assay for Ciguatoxins and Brevetoxins Using Acridinium Brevetoxin-B2 [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 Ciguatera is the term for poisoning resulting from eating fish from tropical or subtropical regions. The causative toxins collectively named ciguatoxins (CTXs) widely differ in structures depending on their geographic origins, which range from the ...

Detection of Brevetoxin in Human Plasma by ELISA. [PDF]
J Anal Toxicol, 2022 Abstract Florida red tides have become more common and persistent in and around the Gulf of Mexico. When in bloom, red tides can produce brevetoxins in high concentrations, leading to human exposures primarily through contaminated food and ocean spray.

Brevetoxin PbTx2 Modulates Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in an In Vitro Human Immune Cell Line [PDF]
ToxicsBrevetoxins (PbTx) exert detrimental effects on marine organisms and humans, mainly through alterations in immune cell function. This study evaluated the immunotoxic potential of sublethal concentrations of PbTx-2 using the THP-1 human monocyte cell line

Use of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy as a novel treatment for brevetoxicosis in sea turtles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The southwest coast of Florida experiences annual red tides, a type of harmful algal bloom that results from high concentrations of Karenia brevis. These dinoflagellates release lipophilic neurotoxins, known as brevetoxins, that bind to sodium channels ...
