Viability changes in human neutrophils and monocytes following exposure to toxin extracted from Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
An in vitro method for detecting toxin produced by Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is described. This procedure is more sensitive than the mouse toxicity test and is based on viability changes in human leukocytes.
