An electrophoretic study on phospholipase A2 isoenzymes in the venoms of Central American crotaline snakes
(1992)
The number and isoelectric points of phospholipase A2 isoenzymes were studied in the venoms of 12 Central American crotaline snakes of the genera Bothrops, Crotalus, Lachesis and Agkistrodon. The study was carried out by ...
Pros and cons of different therapeutic antibody formats for recombinant antivenom development
(2018-05)
Antibody technologies are being increasingly applied in the field of toxinology. Fuelled by the many
advances in immunology, synthetic biology, and antibody research, different approaches and antibody
formats are being ...
Novel catalytically-inactive PII metalloproteinases from a viperid snake venom with substitutions in the canonical zinc-binding motif
(2016-10-12)
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) play key biological roles in prey immobilization
and digestion. The majority of these activities depend on the hydrolysis of relevant protein substrates
in the tissues. Hereby, we ...
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 ...
High-throughput immuno-profiling of mamba (Dendroaspis) venom toxin epitopes using high-density peptide microarrays
(2016-11-08)
Snakebite envenoming is a serious condition requiring medical attention and administration of
antivenom. Current antivenoms are antibody preparations obtained from the plasma of animals
immunised with whole venom(s) and ...
