[Products of spontaneous conjugation of aflatoxins with bovine serum albumin: immunochemical properties].
Products of spontaneous conjugation of aflatoxins B1, G1, and G2 with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were shown to interact with antibodies against aflatoxins. Solid-phase BSA conjugates inhibited the binding of aflatoxins by anti-aflatoxin antibodies. Antisera against BSA-B1, BSA-G1, and BSA-G2 were obtained and their specificity, determined. The mechanisms of spontaneous binding of aflatoxins by proteins are discussed.
