Exploring the venom of the forest cobra snake: Toxicovenomics and antivenom profiling of Naja melanoleuca
(2017-01-06)
A toxicovenomic analysis of the venomof the forest cobra, N. melanoleuca,was performed, revealing the presence
of a total of 52 proteins by proteomics analysis. The most abundant proteins belong to the three-finger ...
Proteomic and toxicological characterization of the venoms of the most enigmatic group of rattlesnakes: The long-tailed rattlesnakes
(2022)
The most enigmatic group of rattlesnakes is the long-tailed rattlesnake group, consisting of three species: Crotalus ericsmithi, Crotalus lannomi and Crotalus stejnegeri. These species have been the least studied rattlesnakes ...
Structural and functional characterization of myotoxin I, a Lys49 phospholipase A(2) homologue from Bothrops moojeni (Caissaca) snake venom
(2000-01-01)
Myotoxin-I (MjTX-I) was purified to homogeneity from the venom of Bothrops moojeni by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose. Its molecular weight, estimated by SDS–PAGE, was 13,400 (reduced) or 26,000 (unreduced). ...
Lys-49 phospholipases A2 as active enzymes for beta-arachidonoyl phospholipid bilayer membranes
(1997)
Phospholipases A2 containing Lys-49 have been reported to be extremely weak or
inactive as enzyme. We have recently shown that basic proteins I and II (BP-I and BP-II), Lys-
49-PLA2s isolated from the venom of Trimeresurus ...
Determinación cuantitativa de la actividad lítica del complemento sérico (CH50) en adultos costarricenses
(1986)
En el presente trabajo se estandariza un método
simple y cuantitativo para la determinación de la
actividad hemolítica (CH5O) del complemento sérico.
Con este método, se evalúa los niveles de
complemento en una muestra ...
Lemnitoxin, the major component of Micrurus lemniscatus coral snake venom, is a myotoxic and pro-inflammatory phospholipase A2
(2016-08-26)
The venom of Micrurus lemniscatus, a coral snake of wide geographical distribution in South America, was fractionated by reverse-phase HPLC and the fractions screened for phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. The major component ...
Immunochemical characterization of Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus venom with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
(1994)
Eleven murine monocloncal antibodies (MAbs) against Micrurus nigrocinctus nigrocinctus venom were produced and partially characterized. When M. n. nigrocinctus venom proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing ...
Phospholipase A2 myotoxins from Bothrops snake venoms [Artículo de revisión]
(1995-11)
Several myotoxins have been isolated from Bothrops snake venoms during the last 10 years. All of them are group II basic phospholipases A2, although some lack enzymatic activity (i.e. Lys-49 variants). These myotoxins ...
Detection of proteins antigenically-related to Bothrops asper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms
(1987)
The presence of components antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin was investigated by Western blotting and immunoelectrophoretic techniques. B. asper myotoxin is a non-glycosylated monomeric phospholipase A with ...
The earless monitor lizard Lanthanotus borneensis – a venomous animal?
(2021)
Based on its mandibular gland secretion, the earless monitor lizard, Lanthanotus borneensis, has been considered a venomous animal like other members of the Toxicofera group, including Heloderma. In the present study, the ...
