Quantitation of aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin B1 antibody by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent microassay [PDF]
A specific microtest plate enzyme immunoassay has been developed for the rapid quantitation of aflatoxin B1 at levels as low as 25 pg per assay. Multiple-site injection of rabbits with an aflatoxin B1 carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin conjugate was used for the production of hyperimmune sera. Dilutions of the purified antibody were air dried onto

Bioimprinting as a tool for the detection of aflatoxin B1 using a capacitive biosensor
A strategy for the detection of aflatoxin B1 using a capacitive biosensor has been studied. The use of proteins for the generation of sites with high specificity against aflatoxin B1 are produced via bioimprinting.

Adsorption of aflatoxin B1 on montmorillonite
The isothermal adsorption and the adsorptive mechanism of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on calcium montmorillonite (Mont) were studied in vitro trials. The maximum amounts of AFB1 on Mont in aqueous solution at 2 and pH 8 were 613.5 and 628.9 microg of AFB1 /g of Mont, respectively.

The Transmission of Aflatoxin B1 into Eggs
Abstract Aflatoxin B1 was incorporated at levels of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 p.p.m. in a laying mash ration which was fed to laying hens. The eggs from hens at all three feeding levels contained measurable amounts of aflatoxin B1. Some eggs from hens given the ration containing 0.4 p.p.m. were stored at 3° C.

Influence of Aflatoxin B1 on Oxidoreductive Balance in Renal Tissue of Rats
The toxic effect of various doses of aflatoxin B1 on renal function was studied. Experiments were conducted on randomly chosen Wistar rats. The animals were divided into four groups. Group I received 8% alcohol intragastrically. The other groups received
