  • METHODS OF DETECTING NEUROTOXIN USING SYNAPTIC ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20150362482
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of detecting neurotoxin in a sample. The methods of the present invention are highly sensitive and specific, rapid, and clinically relevant with minimal cost. The methods of the present invention use isolated neurons capable of networked synaptic activity, which allows each step of the natural toxin intoxication process to occur, mimicking the clinical manifestation of toxin intoxication. This networked synaptic activity provides rapid and highly sensitive neurotoxin detection. The methods are also directed to detecting neurotoxin neutralizing agents and neurotoxin identity.
