Abstract

The article discusses the effect of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contaminated food on human beings and development of a technique for its detection. As stated, biomarkers in blood, urine, and tissues have been used to monitor the AFB1exposure. It further informs that indirect competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (IC-ELISA) has the potential for epidemiological studies in order to minimize aflatoxin contamination in the AFB1 exposed individuals.
