Table 1.
Toxin concentration (ng STXequiv./mL) in fluids collected one and four days after ingestion. LC data was presented discriminated by toxin found and total toxin corrected by using the antibody cross-reactivity. ELISA data was calculated directly from the STX calibration curve. * overestimation due to interfering compounds overlapping toxin peak; nd = not detected; np = not performed.
