Ochratoxin A has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals

and is potentially carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B. It has been shown

to be weakly mutagenic, possibly by damaging DNA. In animals, it

increased the risk of hepatic (liver) tumors and renal (kidney) tumors.

Ochratoxin A may also cause immunosuppression in animals. The

activity may include depressed antibody responses, reduced size of the

immune organs (such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes), changes in

immune cell number and function, and altered cytokine production.
