Quantitation of myonecrosis induced by myotoxin a from prairie rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis viridis) venom
(1982)
Using a pure myotoxin (myotoxin a) isolated from prairie rattlesnake Crotalus viridis viridis) venom, a comparison between two methods for quantitating myonecrosis in mice was made. Measurement of creatine kinase (CK) ...
Skeletal muscle necrosis induced by a phospholipase A2 isolated from the venom of the coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus.
(1987)
1. The venom of the coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus was fractionated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and an acidic myotoxic phospholipase A2 was purified to homogeneity. 2. After ...
Similar effectiveness of Fab and F(ab')2 antivenoms in the neutralization of hemorrhagic activity of Vipera berus snake venom in mice
(1996)
The ability of two antivenoms to Vipera spp., consisting of Fab (Therapeutic Antibodies), or of F(ab′)2 (Zagreb Institute of Immunology) antibody fragments, to neutralize the hemorrhagic activity of Vipera berus snake venom ...
Comparative study on coagulant, defibrinating, fibrinolytic and fibrinogenolytic activities of Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms and their neutralization by a polyvalent antivenom
(1989)
The coagulant, defibrinating, fibrino lytic and fibrinogenolytic activities of venoms from ten species of Costa Rican crotaline snakes were studied, together with the neutralization of these effects by a polyvalent antivenom. ...
The amino acid sequence of a myotoxic phospholipase from the venom of Bothrops asper
(1990)
A myotoxic, basic phospholipase A2 (pI greater than 9.5) with anticoagulant activity has been purified from the venom of Bothrops asper, and its amino acid sequence determined by automated Edman degradation. It is distinct ...
Biochemical and pharmacological similarities between the venoms of newborn Crotalus durissus durissus and adult Crotalus durissus terrificus rattlesnakes
(1991)
A comparative study was performed with the venoms of newborn Crotalus durissus durissus, adult Crotalus durissus terrificus and adult Crotalus durissus durissus snakes. Venom of newborn specimens of C.d. durissus is very ...
The ability of specific antivenom and low temperature to inhibit the myotoxicity and neuromuscular block induced by Micrurus nigrocinctus venom
(1995-05)
In the isolated mouse diaphragm preparation, Micrurus nigrocinctus venom produced a dose-dependent contracture and blockade of the contractile response to direct and indirect electrical stimulation of the muscle. This ...
Neutralization of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus venom by a monovalent antivenom
(1991)
The neutralizing ability of a monovalent anti-Micrurus nigrocinctus (coral snake) antivenom produced in Costa Rica was tested against the lethal, myotoxic and phospholipase A2 activities of homologous venom. In addition, ...
Venom of the crotaline snake Atropoides nummifer (jumping viper) from Guatemala and Honduras: comparative toxicological characterization, isolation of a myotoxic phospholipase A(2) homologue and neutralization by two antivenoms
(2001-07)
A comparative study was performed on the venoms of the crotaline snake Atropoides nummifer from Guatemala and Honduras. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, under reducing conditions, revealed a highly similar pattern ...
Skeletal Muscle Necrosis and Regeneration after Injection of BaH1, A Hemorrhagic Metalloproteinase Isolated from the Venom of the Snake Bothrops asper (Terciopelo)
(1995-02)
The effects of BaH1, a hemorrhagic metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops asper venom, on mouse gastrocnemius muscle was investigated. The toxin induced severe hemorrhage within minutes after injection. Groups of necrotic ...
