    Abstract:
    Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay screening of antibody produced against aflatoxin was accomplished by a new and simple procedure. To demonstrate the new indirect ELISA technique used, antibody against aflatoxin M1 was produced in female BALB/CJ mice by immunization with an aflatoxin M1-bovine serum albumin conjugate. Instead of coating test-plate wells with purified antibody (direct ELISA) or synthesizing a second protein-aflatoxin conjugate (aflatoxin M1-poly-L-lysine) to coat test-plate wells, wells were coated with the readily available aflatoxin M1-bovine serum albumin and aflatoxin B1-bovine serum albumin. This method, applicable for any aflatoxin conjugated by the common cyclopentano-carboxymethoxyl-oxime technique, eliminates the more time-consuming and technically difficult portions of earlier direct and indirect ELISA. The new technique can be valuable in continued efforts toward development of new and improved immunoassays against aflatoxin metabolites.
