The behaviour of mixtures of paralytic shellfish toxins in receptor dependent assays

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

Using two unrelated STX-binding proteins (the rat brain Na channel and a saxiphilin from the xanthid crab Liomera tristis), this study experimentally validated the predicted combined effects of binary and ternary mixtures of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs).

All toxin dilutions (tritiated saxitoxin ([3H]STX), STX dihydrochloride, neoSTX, dcSTX, and GTX5) were in 0.01 M acetic acid. The L. tristis saxiphilin assay was conducted in high protein binding 96 well filtration plates and the rat brain Na channel binding of [3H]STX was measured using a microtiter plate method.

The model predicts the amount of inhibition by toxin mixtures in competitive binding assays from which an IC50 (concentration that inhibits radioligand binding by 50%) can be calculated. IC50 values and their 95% confidence limits from experimental data were derived using the single site curve equation of Graphpad Prism (Ver 4.0, Graphpad Software, San Diego, CA), with fitting constrained to a slope of 1 and a baseline of 0.
