Factors associated with adverse reactions induced by caprylic acid-fractionated whole IgG preparations: comparison between horse, sheep and camel IgGs
(2005-12)
Caprylic acid purification of IgG, currently used in the manufacture of horse-derived antivenoms, was successfully adapted for the preparation of sheep and camel IgG. Sheep IgG had a molecular mass of approximately 150 ...
Human heterophilic antibodies against equine immunoglobulins: assessment of their role in the early adverse reactions to antivenom administration
(2008)
The presence of human heterophilic antibodies against horse immunoglobulins
(HHA-HI) was determined by ELISA in sera from healthy volunteers and from patients who
received equine antivenom for therapy of snake bite ...
Neutralization of local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom
(1998-11)
Local tissue damage represents a serious consequence of Bothrops asper envenomations. It encompasses a complex series of alterations, including myonecrosis, dermonecrosis, hemorrhage and edema. Due to its rapid development ...
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 ...
Snake venomics and antivenomics: Proteomic tools in the design and control of antivenoms for the treatment of snakebite envenoming
(2009-03-06)
Snakebite envenoming represents a neglected tropical disease that has a heavy public health impact, particularly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. A global initiative, aimed at increasing antivenom production and ...
