South American snake venom proteins antigenically-related to Bothrops asper myotoxins.
(1990)
the presence of proteins antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxins in various snake venoms, mainly from South America, was investigated by using poluclonal and monoclonal antibodies. 2. Myotoxin-like components ...
Neutralization of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus venom by a monovalent antivenom
(1991)
The neutralizing ability of a monovalent anti-Micrurus nigrocinctus (coral snake) antivenom produced in Costa Rica was tested against the lethal, myotoxic and phospholipase A2 activities of homologous venom. In addition, ...

Neutralization of four Peruvian Bothrops sp. snake venoms by polyvalent antivenoms produced in Perú and Costa Rica: preclinical assessment
(2005-06)
Envenomations after bites inflicted by snakes of the genus Bothrops constitute a public health hazard in Perú, and the intravenous administration of equine-derived antivenoms represents the only scientifically validated ...
Effects of a myotoxic phospholipase A2 isolated from Bothrops asper venom on skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
(1987)
The myotoxin from B. asper snake venom inhibited Ca-ATPase activity of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum after incubation in vitro. Inhibition was non-competitive and albumin enhanced the effect of the toxin. Furthermore, B. ...
Isolation of a galactose-binding lectin from the venom of the snake Bothrops godmani (Godmann's pit viper).
(1990)
A galactose-binding
lectin, isolated from the venom of B. gotlmani by affinity chromatography . is
an acidic protein (pI 4.9) with a subunit mol. wt of about 14,000, occurring
mostly as a disulfide-linked dimer of 28,000. ...
Comparative study on the ability of IgG and Fab sheep antivenoms to neutralize local hemorrhage, edema and myonecrosis induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom
(2000-02)
The ability of sheep antivenoms, consisting of whole IgG molecules or Fab fragments, to neutralize local hemorrhage, edema and myonecrosis induced by Bothrops asper venom was comparatively studied in mice. The two antivenoms ...
The venom of Bothrops asper from Guatemala: toxic activities and neutralization by antivenoms
(2001-02)
Bothrops asper is responsible for approximately half of the snakebite envenomations in Central America. Despite its medical relevance, only the venom of Costa Rican populations of this species has been studied to some ...
Evaluación de la capacidad de cuatro antivenenos comerciales para neutralizar el veneno de la serpiente Bothrops asper (terciopelo) de Costa Rica
(1995-09)
We studied the ability of four commercially available antivenoms to neutralize several toxic and enzymatic activities of Bothrops asper (terciopelo) venom from Costa Rica. Experiments with preincubation of venom and antivenom ...
