Summary:
With the availability of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against aflatoxins, various simple, sensitive and specific enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed. This is rapid and relatively inexpensive assay method and results are also acceptable. This article provides a simplified account of the protocol for assay of aflatoxins in peanut by indirect competitive ELISA.
