I am thinking for use mycotoxin banded with large molecules of protein to use it as a vaccine to livestock animals, I dont know if this will work or not to give the animal resistance for mycotoxicoses problem in the future.

I see some problems:
- The mycotoxin/protein complex should elicit a specific antibody response to the mycotoxin and not (only) to the protein
- The antibodies should have a long life in the target animals or you have to immunize time and time again
- The mycotoxin itself should enter the body to be captured by circulating antibodies; if it is metabolised rapidly (in the intestine) and the metabolite is the one causing the adverse effects, the whole operation will fail
- The bonding between mycotoxin and antibody should be strong and also block the active places on the mycotoxin causing the adverse effects, to prevent adverse effects from happening anyway.
- The antibody mycotoxin complex should preferable excreted via liver or kidney but during that proces the mycotoxin might be liberated and become active again

* Hi Dr. Odai believed that this method is anomalous for the possibility of decomposition of the link between the mycotoxin and protein inside the animal's body
* I agree with Dr.Kan
