General description

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

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.
