Efectos proteolitico, hemorragico y mionecrotico de los venenos de serpientes costarricenses de los generos Bothrops, Crotalus y Lachesis
(1980)
We studied the proteolytic, hemorrhagic and myonecrotic activities of ten Costa Rican species of snakes from the family Viperidae. All of them showed these three activities but we did not observe any correlation between ...
Neutralización de las actividades tóxicas y enzimáticas de cuatro venenos de serpientes de Guatemala y Honduras por el antiveneno polivalente producido en Costa Rica
(1987)
We studied the ability of the polyvalent antivenom produced in Costa Rica to neutralize lethal, hemorrhagic, edema-forming, proteolytic, hemolytic, hyaluronidase and fibrinolytic activities of the venoms of Bothrops asper ...
An alternative in vitro method for testing the potency of the polyvalent antivenom produced in Costa Rica
(1988)
The ability of several batches of polyvalent antivenom to neutralize indirect hemolytic activity of Bothrops asper venom was studied using a sensitive plate test. All samples of antivenom tested effectively neutralized ...
