Test Principle

The HAMA Detection Kit is an immunoassay designed for qualitative determination of Human Anti Mouse Antibodies in human serum.

HAMA from patient’s sample bind first to mouse antibodies which are conjugated to gold nanoparticles.

In a second step the HAMA will be caught by mouse IgG antibodies, coated on the Test Line (T) of the nitrocellulose membrane.

In the presence of the HAMA-conjugat-complex  a band becomes visible at the location of the Test Line (T).

The surplus of gold particles continues to migrate through the membrane and is captured at the Control Line (C) by specific antibodies.

Color’s intensitiy of the test line is directly proportional to the HAMA concentration in the sample.

Description

Not all cyanobacterial strains produce toxins. However, the toxin-producing strains cannot be distinguished from the nontoxin-producing strains by traditional light microscopy, commonly
used to monitor water bodies.  An alternative for the differentiation of potentially toxic strains from nontoxic strains is to use molecular methods to detect the presence of toxin biosynthetic genes. Such methods are already available and could be used for the detection and identification of potential microcystin and nodularin producers present in environmental samples (Attogene catalog number NA2024).

Screening for the toxin itself, can be very costly.  In turn, real time PCR for the detection of the anaC gene in cyanobacterial strains and environmental samples can be a key indicator for the prescense of cyanobacteria capable of expressing the Anatoxin toxin.  Attogen has thus, designed primer pairs and probes targeting a the conserved anaC gene region in order to enable the amplification and detection of several producer genera using real time PCR.  Screening for the toxin genes can save significant costs and act as a triage for samples needing to be analyzed for the toxin itself.
