HT-2 toxin is a fusarium mycotoxin (secondary fungal metabolite toxic to human and animals) which may be used as a reference material in systems that detect mycotoxins. HT-2 toxin may be used in in vitro studies to understand its mechanisms of cytotoxicity.

A sensitive and accurate method employing a single stage high resolution mass spectrometer equipped with a high-energy collision-dissociation cell (HCD) for the simultaneous determination of deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxin (T-2) and HT-2 toxin (HT-2) in a processed bread model food
Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 401(8), 2561-2571 (2011-09-09)
A rapid fluorescence polarization (FP) immunoassay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in naturally contaminated wheat samples. Syntheses of four fluorescein-labelled T-2 or HT-2 toxin tracers were carried out and their binding response with
European intake estimates indicate that the presence of HT-2 and T-2 toxins in cereals, mainly in oats, can be of concern for human health. Therefore, the development of sensitive, rapid and reliable methods for determining these mycotoxins in cereals, in
