摘要
Gonyautoxin (GTX), saxitoxic (STX) and tetrodotoxin (TTX), also known as paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP), block Na+ channels, including those in the frog bladder membrane. A tissue biosensor has been developed, consisting of a Na+ electrode covered with a. frog bladder membrane integrated within a flow cell. The direction of Na+ transfer, investigated in the absence of Nai channel blockers, established that active transport of Na+ occurs across the frogs bladder membrane from the internal to the external face. Transfer was shown to be TTX sensitive. The tissue sensor response to each of the different PSP was recorded and the results compared with toxicities determined by the standard mouse bio-assay. Using high concentrations of TTX from the puffer fish Takifugu niphobles, a linear correlation was found between the results from the two assay systems. However, the tissue biosensor system was also able to detect very low concentrations of TTX in samples from two species of puffer fish (Takifugu niphobles and Takifugu pardalis) at concentrations below the detection limit of the mouse bio-assay.
