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 AFM1 specific antibodies which may have immunoassay applications.
