  • Title: Interferences in radioimmunoassay of aflatoxins in food and fodder samples of plant origin.
    Author: Rauch P, Fukal L, Brezina P, Kás J.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1988; 71(3):491-3. PubMed ID: 3391945.
    Abstract:
    Cross-reactions and resulting nonspecific binding of substances with structures resembling aflatoxins (derivatives of coumarin, and cinnamonic and benzoic acids, etc.) were investigated. The concentrations of these substances causing erroneously high or false positive values in radioimmunoassay were determined. One microgram aflatoxin B1/kg sample may be simulated by the occurrence of 5 g coumarin, 10 g caffeic acid, 16 g chlorogenic acid, or 15 g vanillin/kg fodder or food sample.
