  • Assay for dioxins
    Patent number: 5128244
    Abstract: A screening assay for recognizing the presence of dioxins (and other related toxins) in a sample is disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, Ah receptor from mice and a radioactively labelled halogenated dioxin are used in a competitive binding assay to test for the presence of toxins. The label is .sup.125 I substituted directly on the main dioxin structure. The relative binding of the toxin in the samples (in competition with labelled dioxin) for Ah receptor can be compared against standard curves. A kit is provided for running such an assay and a preferred .sup.125 I ligand is provided.
