Application

Aflatoxin M1–BSA Conjugate has been used in the indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) with non-labeled aflatoxin M1 and anti-AFM1 antibody.

Aflatoxin M1 is both a hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin that has been shown to cause immunosuppression in animals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aflatoxin M1 is a mycotoxin that elicits both hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic effects leading to immunosuppression in animals. The bioconjugate of aflatoxin M1(AFM1) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) is useful in the generation of AFM1specific antibodies which may have immunoassay applications.

Warning

Possibly carcinogenic.
