Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.
