Abstract

The overall objective of this project is to develop rapid, specific test methods, based on antibody probes, for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods, and to introduce the tests as part of appropriate quality control procedures. The tests will be widely applicable but particular efforts will be made to aid the food production processes of the CEE partners. The tests will be aimed at raw materials and final products, and will utilise on-line sensor technology where feasible. A unique contribution of IFR to the consortium will be to identify suitable targets at the peptide level for antibody production, using expertise in understanding the nature of IgG epitopes and the conformational properties of peptides.
