Specific concentrations of the toxins (25, 10, 1, and 0.1 mu g/mL) were applied to the C3A human hepatocytes. A MTT test was performed to determine the level of toxicity. Alpha amanitin showed a higher toxicity in 48 h while the lowest toxicity was observed in beta amanitin. The toxicity level of gamma amanitin was found between the alpha and beta amanitin toxicity. Our method is suitable for obtaining gamma amanitin with high purity (>99%) as well as for obtaining alpha amanitin and beta amanitin. Gamma amanitin has been shown to have equal responsibility for toxicity as alpha amanitin in amanita poisoning.en10.3109/15569543.2015.1135172info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAlpha amanitinbeta amanitingamma amanitinMTT assayC3A human hepatocyte cell lineArticle344200205WOS:000375245500008Q3Q4
