| comparative analyses by hplc and the sodium channel and saxiphilin 3h-saxitoxin receptor assays for paralytic shellfish toxins in crustaceans and molluscs from tropical north west australia. | the increased frequency and distribution of red tides requires the development of high-throughput detection methods for paralytic shellfish toxins (pst). community ethics also requires that there be a reduced reliance upon the standard mouse bioassay. a biomolecular assay such as the sodium channel 3h-saxitoxin binding assay can satisfy both of these requirements but may be compromised by cross-reactivity with the structurally unrelated tetrodotoxins (ttx). this study utilised the sodium channel ... | 1998 | 9620576 |
