摘要: In order to elucidate the effects upon human immune system of aflatoxin B1 produced by food-contaminating mould Aspergillus flavus, phagocytosis, microbicidal activity, superoxide production and intrinsic antiviral activity were studied in monocytes exposed for different times at concentrations ranging from 0.1 1 pg/ml. Phagocytosis significantly impaired (p < 0.05) doses as low However, pretreatment with did not modify or production. These results confirmed data obtained animals fed mycotoxin-contaminated foods. The potential danger health exposure mycotoxins demonstrates necessity careful microbiological control food.
