Factors associated with adverse reactions induced by caprylic acid-fractionated whole IgG preparations: comparison between horse, sheep and camel IgGs
(2005-12)
Caprylic acid purification of IgG, currently used in the manufacture of horse-derived antivenoms, was successfully adapted for the preparation of sheep and camel IgG. Sheep IgG had a molecular mass of approximately 150 ...
Lachesis stenophrys venom reduces the equine antibody response towards Bothrops asper venom used as co-immunogen in the production of polyspecific snake antivenom
(2015-09-01)
The anti-bothropic activity of an antivenom prepared from the plasma of horses immunized with Bothrops asper venom (anti-B antivenom) was compared with a similar formulation produced from the plasma of horses immunized ...
Purification of IgG and albumin from human plasma by aqueous two phase system fractionation
(2012-08)
The current shortages in human plasma products at global levels justify the development of new, cost effective plasma fractionation methods. We have developed a fractionation process to obtain immunoglobulin G (IgG) and ...
Venom of Bothrops asper from Mexico and Costa Rica: Intraspecific variation and cross-neutralization by antivenoms
(2012-01)
Bothrops asper is the species that induces the highest incidence of snakebite envenomation
in southern Mexico, Central America and parts of northern South America. The intraspecies
variability in HPLC profile and ...
Toxicity of Bothrops sp snake venoms from Ecuador and preclinical assessment of the neutralizing efficacy of a polyspecific antivenom from Costa Rica
(2014-09-15)
The toxicological profile of the venoms of the snakes Bothrops asper and Bothrops atrox from Ecuador was investigated, together with the venom of a population of B. asper formerly classified as ‘Bothrops xanthogrammus’. ...
Development of a chicken-derived antivenom against the taipan snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus) venom and comparison with an equine antivenom
(2016-09-15)
A chicken-derived antivenom (ChDAv) towards taipan snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus) venom was produced
by purifying anti-taipan IgY from egg yolks of hens immunized with taipan venom. The productivity,
antivenomic profile, ...
Human heterophilic antibodies against equine immunoglobulins: assessment of their role in the early adverse reactions to antivenom administration
(2008)
The presence of human heterophilic antibodies against horse immunoglobulins
(HHA-HI) was determined by ELISA in sera from healthy volunteers and from patients who
received equine antivenom for therapy of snake bite ...
Low pH formulation of whole IgG antivenom: Impact on quality, safety, neutralizing potency and viral inactivation
(2012-03)
Low pH treatment improves the tolerance to intravenous infusion, the stability, and the viral safety of various therapeutic immunoglobulins G preparations, but has never been evaluated for horse plasma-derived antivenoms. ...
Pan-African polyspecific antivenom produced by caprylic acid purification of horse IgG: an alternative to the antivenom crisis in Africa
(2005-06)
A polyspecific Pan-African antivenom has been produced from the plasma of horses immunized with a mixture of the venoms of Echis ocellatus, Bitis arietans and Naja nigricollis, the three most medically important snakes in ...
Comparative study on the ability of IgG and F(ab')2 antivenoms to neutralize lethal and myotoxic effects induced by Micrurus nigrocinctus (coral snake) venom
(1999-08)
A comparative study was performed on the ability of IgG and F(ab')2 antivenoms to neutralize lethal and myotoxic activities of Micrurus nigrocinctus venom. Both antivenoms were adjusted to a similar neutralizing potency ...
