Monoclonal anti-Aflatoxin B (mouse IgG1 isotype) is 1 derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.Aflatoxins are a group of naturally occurring fungal toxins (mycotoxins) synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. It is found as contaminants in human and animal food such as corn, peanuts, tree nuts, cottonseed, cereal crops, beans, casssava, milo, sorghum, copra, rice, dried fish and beer.
Immunogen
aflatoxin B -KLH conjugate
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Aflatoxin B1 (G1, Q1, B2, G2) antibody produced in mouse has been used in indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and fluorescence polarization assay.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Aflatoxin B (AFB) and its metabolites is known to act as potent carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens, in addition to its toxicity. Aflatoxins have been implicated in human hepatocellular carcinoma, outbreaks of aflatoxicosis, Rey′s syndrome, chronic hepatitis and increased mortality from infection in animal husbandry.
Target description
Mycotoxins, a group of chemically diverse secondary fungal metabolites, induce a variety of toxic responses in humans and animals when food and feed containing these compounds are ingested. Rapidly quantitating levels of mycotoxin contamination can help reduce exposure to these toxins.

Aflatoxins are mycotoxins secreted by Aspergillus flavus, which can colonize the respiratory tract and cause fungal rhinosinusitis or bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. A. flavus is the second leading cause of invasive aspergillosis worldwide. Because many respiratory pathogens secrete toxins to impair mucociliary
