Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  16. [ASAP] One-Step Ultrasensitive Bioluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay Based on Nanobody/Nanoluciferase Fusion for Detection of Aflatoxin B1 in Cereal

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Nanoluciferase (Nluc), the smallest luciferase known, was used as the fusion partner with a nanobody against aflatoxin B1 to develop a bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) for detection of the aflatoxin B1 in cereal. Nanobody (clone G8) against aflatoxin B1 was fused with nanoluciferase and cloned into a pET22b expression vector, and then transformed into Escherichia coli.
