Comparative study of the venoms of three subspecies of Lachesis muta (bushmaster) from Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica
(1998-12)
A comparative study was performed on the pharmacology and biochemistry of venoms from three subspecies of Lachesis muta (L. m. stenophrys, L. m. muta and L. m. rhombeata) from Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica. All venoms ...
Neutralization of local effects of the terciopelo (Bothrops asper) venom by blood serum of the colubrid snake Clelia clelia
(1982)
The neutralizing capacity of the blood serum of the non-venomous snake Clelia clelia against the hemorrhagic, edematous and myonecrotic effects of Bothrops asper venom in white mice was tested using in vitro preincubation ...
Immunological studies on BaH1 and BaPI, two hemorrhagic metalloproteinases from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(1995-08)
No immunological cross-reactivity was observed between BaH1 and BaP1, two hemorrhagic metalloproteinases isolated from B. asper venom, by gel immunodiffusion, Western blotting and neutralization studies. Cross-reactivity ...
Purification of IgG and albumin from human plasma by aqueous two phase system fractionation
(2012-08)
The current shortages in human plasma products at global levels justify the development of new, cost effective plasma fractionation methods. We have developed a fractionation process to obtain immunoglobulin G (IgG) and ...

Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca snake venoms trigger microbicidal functions of peritoneal leukocytes in vivo
(2001-10)
Venoms from snakes of the genus Bothrops cause pronounced local effects in the victims. These alterations result not only from the direct toxic action of venom components, but also from the prominent inflammatory reaction ...
Venom of Bothrops asper from Mexico and Costa Rica: Intraspecific variation and cross-neutralization by antivenoms
(2012-01)
Bothrops asper is the species that induces the highest incidence of snakebite envenomation
in southern Mexico, Central America and parts of northern South America. The intraspecies
variability in HPLC profile and ...
Cytotoxicity induced in myotubes by a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper: Evidence of rapid plasma membrane damage and a dual role for extracellular calcium
(2007-12)
Acute muscle tissue damage, myonecrosis, is a typical consequence of envenomations by snakes of the family Viperidae. Catalytically-inactive Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues are abundant myotoxic components in viperid ...
