    Abstract:
    The in vitro effect of each of the Penicillium mycotoxins citrinin (CIT), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), ochratoxin A (OTA), patulin (PAT), penicillic acid (PIA) and roquefortine C (RQC) on mitogen induced lymphocyte proliferation was determined using purified lymphocytes from 6 piglets. Dose response curves for each mycotoxin were generated and the concentrations producing 50% inhibition of cell proliferation (IC(50)) were estimated. OTA and PAT were the most potent toxins with IC(50) of 1.3 and 1.2 micromol/l, respectively (0.52 and 0.18 mg/l, respectively). Based on molar concentrations, OTA was 15, 30, 40, and 65 times more potent as an inhibitor than PIA, CIT, CPA and RQC, respectively.
