Diagnostic Vomitoxin ( Don ) Services in 1999 - 2000
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) emerged in the 1990’s as an important problem for American agriculture. Resolving the FHB problem involves cooperative efforts and a multidisciplinary approach, including analytical assays for vomitoxin in the new wheat and barley varieties. In 1999, the US Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative provided grants, for diagnostic vomitoxin (DON) services, to 4 laboratories in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota. The following information provides an insight into the methods, quality assurance and number of samples processed by each of these laboratories.

Overt signs of toxicity to dogs and cats of dietary deoxynivalenol.
Studies were conducted to determine the dietary amounts of deoxynivalenol (DON; vomitoxin) in dog and cat food that are required to produce overt signs of toxicity (e.g., vomiting or reduced food intake). Wheat naturally contaminated with 37 mg of DON/kg was used to manufacture pet foods containing 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg of DON/kg. Deoxynivalenol concentration in pet food following manufac...
متن کاملMurine Anorectic Response to Deoxynivalenol (Vomitoxin) Is Sex-Dependent
Deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin), a common trichothecene mycotoxin found in cereal foods, dysregulates immune function and maintenance of energy balance. The purpose of this study was to determine if sex differences are similarly evident in DON's anorectic responses in mice. A bioassay for feed refusal, previously developed by our lab, was used to compare acute i.p. exposures of 1 and 5 mg/kg bw...
متن کاملImmunochemical assessment of mycotoxins in 1989 grain foods: evidence for deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) contamination.
To assess the potential for mycotoxin contamination of the human food supply following the 1988 U.S. drought, 92 grain food samples were purchased from retail outlets in the summer of 1989 and surveyed for aflatoxin B1, zearalenone, and deoxynivalenol (DON [vomitoxin]) by monoclonal antibody-based competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Only one sample (buckwheat flour) was found...
متن کاملIdentification of mimotope peptides which bind to the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol-specific monoclonal antibody.
Monoclonal antibody 6F5 (mAb 6F5), which recognizes the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) (vomitoxin), was used to select for peptides that mimic the mycotoxin by employing a library of filamentous phages that have random 7-mer peptides on their surfaces. Two phage clones selected from the random peptide phage-displayed library coded for the amino acid sequences SWGPFPF and SWGPLPF. These clones w...
متن کاملEffects of Milling and Cooking Processes on the Deoxynivalenol Content in Wheat
Deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin) is a natural-occuring mycotoxin mainly produced by Fusarium graminearum, a food-borne fungi widely distributed in crops and it is one of the most important mycotoxins in wheat and wheat-based foods and feeds. DON affects animal and human health causing diarrhea, vomiting, gastro-intestinal inflammation, and immunomodulation. Since the rate of the occurrence of DO...
