Rationally Designed Synthetic Haptens to Generate Anti-Ciguatoxin Monoclonal Antibodies, and Development of a Practical Sandwich ELISA to Detect Ciguatoxins [PDF]
“Ciguatera” fish poisoning (CFP) is one of the well-known food poisoning caused by the ingestion of fish that have accumulated trace amounts of ciguatoxins (CTXs). CFP affects more than 50,000 individuals annually.

Quantification of Representative Ciguatoxins in the Pacific Using Quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [PDF]
The absolute quantification of five toxins involved in ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) in the Pacific was carried out by quantitative 1H-NMR. The targeted toxins were ciguatoxin-1B (CTX1B), 52-epi-54-deoxyciguatoxin-1B (epideoxyCTX1B), ciguatoxin-3C ...

Comparison of LC-MS methods for the quantitation of ciguatoxins in fish – A collaborative study [PDF]
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are marine biotoxins that can contaminate seafood and if consumed can result in ciguatera poisoning (CP). The analysis of CTXs is challenging, as they occur in complex tissue matrices, cause CP symptoms at trace amounts (
