“…In contrast, immunoaffinity chromatography is a separation method that takes the advantage of the specific and reversible interaction between antibody and antigen, and has been considered as one of the most powerful techniques for isolation and purification of individual or classes of compounds from liquid matrices (Senyuva & Gilbert, 2010). Owing to the advantages of high specificity, simple operation and therefore low cost per sample, immunoaffinity chromatography has been widely used in sample pretreatment for residue analysis of mycotoxins (Klinglmayr, Nöbauer, Razzazi-Fazeli, & Cichna-Markl, 2010;Tavčar-Kalcher, Vrtač, Pestevšek, & Vengušt, 2007;), veterinary drugs (Wang & Shen, 2007;Zhang et al, 2011), pesticides (Chen, Wang, Wang, & Tang, 2009;Wang et al, 2011) and heavy metals (Abe et al, 2011). Our previous work has described an immunoaffinity extraction of MA from food and feed samples using a polyclonal antibody (pAb) against MA (Wang, Xu, Zhang, Wang, & Dong, 2011a).…”
