Dataset on the toxic effects of aflatoxin and ochratoxin a on the human gastric smooth muscle cells

Abstract

This dataset determined the effects of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) and Ochratoxin A extracted from ginger collected purposively from different retails in Mafikeng, North West province of South Africa, on the Human Gastric Smooth Muscle Cells. Hundred samples of ginger were collected and utilized for this purpose and the above mentioned toxins were extracted from the ginger, screened for on ELISA, quantified by HPLC and were exposed to the cells both individually and in combination (i.e aflatoxin and ochratoxin were combined) at different concentrations (high, moderate and low) using the human interferon beta kit. They were incubated for 12 h after which the level/concentration of human interferon produced was analyzed using the ELISA. Keywords: Aflatoxin, Elisa, Health, Human, Gastric smooth muscle cell
