Local effects induced by coral snake venoms: Evidence of myonecrosis after experimental inoculations of venoms from five species
(1983)
The local effects induced by intramuscular inoculations of venons from six species of coral snakes were studied in mice. Venoms of Micrurus nlgrocinctus nigrocinctus, M. n . moquitensis, M. alleni, M. frontalis, M. aarinkauda ...
Histopathological and biochemical alterations induced by intramuscular injection of Bothrops asper (terciopelo) venom in mice
(1989)
The local and systemic pathological changes induced by an i.m. injection of 100 micrograms of Bothrops asper venom in mice were studied histologically and by following the changes in serum levels of enzymes, proteins, ATP ...
Antibody neutralization of a myotoxin from the venom of Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1987)
Neutralization of biological activities of B. asper myotoxin by a monospecific anti-myotoxin rabbit serum and polyvalent antivenom was studied. Both antisera neutralized myotoxic, phospholipase A and lethal activities of ...
Pathogenesis of myonecrosis induced by coral snake (Micrurus nigrocinctus) venom in mice
(1986-02)
The mode by which coral snake (Micrurus nigrocinctus) venom affects skeletal muscle was studied using a combined approach. The venom induced early functional and structural alterations in the plasma membrane of muscle ...
Effects of a myotoxic phospholipase A2 isolated from Bothrops asper venom on skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
(1987)
The myotoxin from B. asper snake venom inhibited Ca-ATPase activity of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum after incubation in vitro. Inhibition was non-competitive and albumin enhanced the effect of the toxin. Furthermore, B. ...
Isolation and partial characterization of a myotoxin from the venom of the snake Bothrops nummifer
(1986)
A myotoxin from the venom of the snake Bothrops nummifer was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex. The toxin is a basic dimer with a subunit molecular weight of 16,000, as estimated by ...
Cálculo de la actividad hemolítica del complemento sérico (CH50) mediante un programa en "BASIC": Comparación con el método gráfico manual.
(1986)
En el presente trabajo se describe el programa para el cálculo de la actividad hemolítica del complemento sérico, y se muestran los resultados de un estudio comparativo entre el método gráfico manual y el método matemático ...
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 ...
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 ...
Pharmacological activities of a toxic phospholipase A isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(1986)
A toxic phospholipase A was isolated from the venom of Bothrops asper. It induced skeletal muscle damage, anticoagulant effects and edema in the foot pad. The toxin had an intravenous LD50 of 95 micrograms/16-18 g mouse ...
