Aflatoxin B 1 shows potent hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, genotoxic, immunotoxic potential in humans and many species of animals. The aim of this study was to clarify the underlying mechanism of G 0 G 1 phase and G 2 M phase arrest of cell cycle in the bursa of Fabricius in broilers exposed to dietary AFB 1 . 144 one-day-old healthy Cobb broilers were randomly divided into two groups and fed on control diet and 0.6 mg·Kg Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ), secondary metabolites generated by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, usually can contaminate agricultural products and threaten food safety 1 . AFB 1 also presents potent hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, genotoxic, immunotoxic potential 2,3 and other adverse effects in many species of animals, including rodents, fish, humans and non-human primates 4 . Immunosuppression is a major effect of AFB 1 , which is characterized by injuries of mucosal immunity, cellular immunity and humoral immunity. These injuries include alteration of organ morphology and immune organ weights, reduction of T or B lymphocytes number, inhibition of lymphocyte activity 5,6 , decrease of antibody production 7
