Snake venomics and antivenomics of Protobothrops mucrosquamatus and Viridovipera stejnegeri from Taiwan: Keys to understand the variable immune response in horses
(2012-10-22)
The proteomes of the venoms of the snakes Viridovipera stejnegeri and Protobothrops mucrosquamatus from Taiwan were characterized by N-terminal sequencing, MALDI-TOF mass fingerprinting, and collision-induced dissociation ...
Snake venomics of Lachesis muta rhombeata and genus-wide antivenomics assessment of the paraspecific immunoreactivity of two antivenoms evidence the high compositional and immunological conservation across Lachesis
(2013-08-26)
We report the proteomic analysis of the Atlantic bushmaster, Lachesis muta rhombeata, from Brazil. Along with previous characterization of the venom proteomes of L. stenophrys (Costa Rica), L. melanocephala (Costa Rica), ...
Preclinical efficacy of Australian antivenoms against the venom of the small-eyed snake, Micropechis ikaheka, from Papua New Guinea: An antivenomics and neutralization study
(2014-10-14)
There is no specific antivenom for the treatment of envenoming by the small-eyed snake, Micropechis ikaheka, a dangerous fossorial species endemic to Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya (West Papua) and neighbouring islands. This ...
Assessing the preclinical efficacy of antivenoms: From the lethality neutralization assay to antivenomics
(2013-07)
The assessment of the capacity of antivenoms to neutralize the lethal activity of snake
venoms is the gold standard in the preclinical analysis of antivenom efficacy, and is
routinely performed by manufacturers and quality ...
Venoms of Micrurus coral snakes: evolutionary trends in compositional patterns emerging from proteomic analyses
(2016-11)
The application of proteomic tools to the study of snake venoms has led to an impressive growth in the
knowledge about their composition (venomics), immunogenicity (antivenomics), and toxicity (toxicovenomics).
About ...
Antivenomics: a proteomics tool for studying the immunoreactivity of antivenoms
(2015-03)
Envenoming following snakebite is largely a neglected threat to public health in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania addicting some of the world’s poorest rural communities. An ...
Snake venomics of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis from the Caribbean region of Costa Rica reveals two divergent compositional patterns in New World elapids
(2015-12-01)
Protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, were ...
Proteomic analysis of venom variability and ontogeny across the arboreal palm-pitvipers (genus Bothriechis)
(2017-01)
Bothriechis is a genus of eleven currently recognized slender and arboreal venomous snakes, commonly called
palm-pitvipers that range from southern Mexico to northern South America. Despite dietary studies suggesting
that ...
