Antivenomics: a proteomics tool for studying the immunoreactivity of antivenoms
(2015-03)
Envenoming following snakebite is largely a neglected threat to public health in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania addicting some of the world’s poorest rural communities. An ...
The recovery from the neuroparalysis caused by Micrurus nigrocinctus venom is accelerated by an agonist of the CXCR4 receptor
(2022)
Snake envenoming is a major but neglected human disease in tropical and subtropical regions. Among venomous snakes in the Americas, coral snakes of the genus Micrurus are particularly dangerous because they cause a peripheral ...
Isolation and characterization of myotoxin II from Atropoides (Bothrops) nummifer snake venom, a new Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologu
(2000)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 of class II are commonly found in the venoms of crotalid snakes. As an approach to
understanding their structure±activity relationship, diverse natural variants have been characterized ...
Increments in serum cytokine and nitric oxide levels in mice injected with Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca snake venoms
(2000-09)
Changes in serum levels of several cytokines and nitric oxide were studied in BALB/c mice injected intraperitoneally with one median lethal dose (LD(50)) of the venoms of Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca, two of the ...
Envenenamientos por mordeduras de serpientes en América Latina y el Caribe: Una visión integral de carácter regional
Snakebite poisoning in Latin America and the Caribbean: An integral view from a regional perspective
(2011-01)
Se analiza la situación de los envenenamientos por
mordeduras de serpiente en América Latina y el Caribe, los
cuales representan un importante problema de Salud Pública
en la región. Esta patología afecta, fundamentalmente, ...
Crystallization and preliminary diffraction data of two myotoxins isolated from the venoms of Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) and Bothrops nummifer (jumping viper)
(1993-08)
Two myotoxins isolated from B. asper (myotoxin II) and B. nummifer (myotoxin I) snake venoms have been crystallized and their diffraction properties are described. These myotoxins are phospholipase A2 variants which lack ...
Characterization of the local tissue damage induced by LHF-II, a metalloproteinase with weak hemorrhagic activity isolated from Lachesis muta muta snake venom
(1999-09)
Local tissue damage induced by LHF-II, a 22-kDa hemorrhagic metalloproteinase from Lachesis muta venom was studied. Intravital microscopy experiments evidenced hemorrhagic events 2 min after LHF-II application onto cremaster ...
Myotoxin II from Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) venom is a lysine-49 phospholipase A2
(1991)
A basic, dimeric myotoxic protein, myotoxin II, purified from Bothrops asper venom has a similar molecular weight and is immunologically cross-reactive with antibodies raised to previously isolated B. asper phospholipases ...
Structure of a calcium-independent phospholipase-like myotoxic protein from Bothrops asper venom
(1995-05-01)
Myotoxin II, a myotoxic calcium-independent phospholipase-like protein isolated from the venom of Bothrops asper, possesses no detectable phospholipase activity. The crystal structure has been determined and refined at 2.8 ...
Danger in the reef: Proteome, toxicity, and neutralization of the venom of the olive sea snake, Aipysurus laevis
(2015-12-01)
Four specimens of the olive sea snake, Aipysurus laevis, were collected off the coast of Western Australia, and the venom proteome was characterized and quantitatively estimated by RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE, and MALDI-TOF-TOF ...
