Immunochemical characterization of Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus venom with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
(1994)
Eleven murine monocloncal antibodies (MAbs) against Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus venom were produced and partially characterized. When M. n. nigrocinctus venom proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing ...
Cariotipos de las principales serpientes coral (Elapidae: Micrurus) de Costa Rica
(1979)
Se describen los cariotipos de las tres especies de serpientes de coral (Elapidae: Micrurus) más abundantes en Costa Rica: M. nigrocinctus, M. alleni y M. mipartitus. M. nigrocinctus presenta dos poblaciones cariotípicas ...
Phospholipase A2 myotoxins from Bothrops snake venoms [Artículo de revisión]
(1995-11)
Several myotoxins have been isolated from Bothrops snake venoms during the last 10 years. All of them are group II basic phospholipases A2, although some lack enzymatic activity (i.e. Lys-49 variants). These myotoxins ...
Detection of proteins antigenically-related to Bothrops asper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms
(1987)
The presence of components antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin was investigated by Western blotting and immunoelectrophoretic techniques. B. asper myotoxin is a non-glycosylated monomeric phospholipase A with ...
Heterologous hyperimmune polyclonal antibodies against SARS-COV-2: A broad coverage, affordable, and scalable potential immunotherapy for Covid-19
(2021-09)
The emergence and dissemination of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic triggered a global public health crisis.
Although several SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have ...
Phospholipases A2: Unveiling the secrets of a functionally versatile group of snake venom toxins
(2013-02)
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are abundant components of snake venoms, where they play toxic and digestive roles. Despite having a similar three-dimensional structure, venom PLA2s exert an amazing variety of toxic and ...
A Call for Incorporating Social Research in the Global Struggle against Snakebite
(2015-09-17)
In Africa, Asia, Latin America, and parts of Oceania, envenoming after snakebite is a serious
public health problem. Conservative data suggest that between 1.2 and 5.5 million people
suffer snakebites every year, resulting ...
Skin Pathology Induced by Snake Venom Metalloproteinase: Acute Damage, Revascularization, and Re-epithelization in a Mouse Ear Model
(2008-10)
Viperid snakebite envenomation induces blistering and dermonecrosis. The pathological alterations induced by a snake venom metalloproteinase in the skin were investigated in a mouse ear model. Metalloproteinase BaP1, from ...
Inhibition by CaNa2EDTA of local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) venom: Application in horse immunization for antivenom production
(1998-03-26)
The ability of the chelating agent CaNa2EDTA to inhibit local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper venom was studied in mice and in horses used for polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenom production. CaNa2EDTA was devoid of ...
Neutralization of proteolytic and hemorrhagic activities of Costa Rican snake venoms by a polyvalent antivenom
(1985)
The polyvalent antivenom produced at the Instituto Clodomiro Picado, Costa Rica, was tested for its capacity to neutralize proteolytic and hemorrhagic activities of ten Costa Rican crotaline venoms. In experiments with ...
