title: Versatile antibody-sensing Boolean logic for the simultaneous detection of multiple bacterial toxins.
abstract: We present an OR gate based on monoclonal antibodies for the simultaneous detection of multiple toxins in a single tube. To further simplify the operating procedure, the Boolean rule of simplification was used to guide the selection of a marker toxin among the natural toxin profiles.
