Abstract

Microcystins (MCs) may be group of closely related toxic cyclic heptapeptides produced by common cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Their toxicity could be associated with specific inhibition of intracellular protein phosphatases type-1 and type-2A (PP1 and PP2A, respectively). There are some methods for analyzing and detecting MCs in aquatic environment, such as HPLC, LC-MS, PPIA, and ELISA. This review introduces advances on MCs determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and estimates the prospective development of ELISA for monitoring MCs in natural waters.
