Rabbit Anti-Aflatoxin B1 antibody has been used for the development of electrochemical immunosensors. The antibody has also been used in designing novel sandwich immunoassays. The product can also be used for capture ELISA at a dilution of 1:1,000.
Aflatoxin B1 is the most abundant and significant member of the group, which includes B2, B2a, G1, G2a, M1, M2, P1, Q1, aflatoxicol I (natural isomer), aflatoxicol II (unnatural isomer), tetrahydrodeoxy aflatoxin B1, and the unstable reactive B1 (8,9)-epoxide.
Aflatoxin B1 and its metabolites act as potent carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens. Aflatoxins have been implicated in human hepatocellular carcinoma, outbreaks of aflatoxicosis, Rey′s syndrome, chronic hepatitis and increased mortality from infection in animal husbandry.
