A novel antibody-based biomarker for chronic algal toxin exposure and sub-acute neurotoxicity.

A novel antibody-based biomarker for chronic algal toxin exposure and sub-acute neurotoxicity.

The neurotoxic amino acid, domoic acid (DA), is naturally produced by marine phytoplankton and presents a significant threat to the health of marine mammals, seabirds and humans via transfer of the toxin through the foodweb.
