First crotoxin-like phospholipase A2 complex from a New World non-rattlesnake species: Nigroviriditoxin, from the arboreal Neotropical snake Bothriechis nigroviridis
(Toxicon vol 93:144–154, 2015-01)
Bothriechis nigroviridis is an arboreal Neotropical pitviper found in Costa Rica and Panam a. A previous
proteomic profiling of its venom revealed the presence of proteins with homology to the A and B subunits
of ...
Two color morphs of the pelagic yellow-bellied sea snake, pelamis platura, from different locations of Costa Rica: snake venomics, toxicity, and neutralization by antivenom
(Journal of Proteomics Volume 103, 30 May 2014, Pages 137–152, 2014-05-30)
The yellow-bellied sea snake, Pelamis platura, is the most broadly distributed snake species. Despite being endowed with a highly lethal venom, a proteomic analysis of its toxin composition was unavailable. The venoms of ...
Activity of hemorrhagic metalloproteinase BaH-1 and myotoxin II from Bothrops asper snake venom on capillary endothelial cells in vitro
(1994-04)
In vivo, hemorrhagic toxins isolated from snake venoms cause a disorganization of the basal lamina of capillaries, with a concomitant degenerative process of endothelial cells. In this study we investigated the effects of ...
Comparison between IgG and F(ab′)2 polyvalent antivenoms: neutralization of systemic effects induced by Bothrops asper venom in mice, extravasation to muscle tissue, and potential for induction of adverse reactions
(2001-06)
Whole IgG and F(ab′)2 equine-derived polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenoms, prepared from the same batch of hyperimmune plasma, were compared in terms of neutralization of the lethal and defibrinating activities induced by ...
Cambios en el patrón electroforético del veneno de cascabela muda (Lachesis muta stenophrys) durante el almacenamiento bajo diferentes condiciones
(1985)
Liquid and lyophilized samples of Lachesis muta venom were stored at different temperatures and for different periods of time, and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and immunoelectrophoresis. Only slight ...
Functional analysis of DM64, an antimyotoxic protein with immunoglobulin-like structure from Didelphis marsupialis serum
(2002-12-11)
Bothrops snake venoms are known to induce local tissue damage such as hemorrhage and myonecrosis. The opossum Didelphis marsupialis is resistant to these snake venoms and has natural venom inhibitors in its plasma. The aim ...
Production and partial characterization of monoclonal antibodies to Bothrops asper (terciopelo) myotoxin
(1988)
Seven murine monoclonal antibodies against Bothrops aspen myotoxin were produced and partially characterized. They revealed the presence of at least four cross-reacting basic components in crude venom, with a common subunit ...
El suero de neonatos de Clelia clelia (Serpentes: Colubridae) neutraliza la acción hemorrágica del veneno de Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae).
(1989)
The ability of serum from nine newbom specimens of Clelia clelia (Colubridae) to neutralize hernorrhagic action of Bothrops asper venom was tested. All serum samples neutralized completely the hernorrhagic effect of the ...
Niveles de inmunoglobulinas séricas (IgG, IgA e IgM) en adultos jóvenes sanos, por el método de inmunodifusión radial
(1985)
Se determinó la concentración de IgG, IgA, e IgM en el suero de 49 estudiantes universitarios normales, de 18 a 25 años. Para esto se empleó el método de inmunodifusión radial, en placas comerciales. Los resultados fueron ...
Isolation from a polyvalent antivenom of antibodies to a myotoxin in Bothrops asper snake venom
(1985)
Antibodies against Bothrops asper rmyotoxin were purified from a polyvalent antivenom by affinity chromatography . These antibodies neutralized most of the myotoxic activity of crude B. asper venom, as judged by histologic ...
