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 ... -
Homogenates of skeletal muscle injected with snake venom inhibit myogenic differentiation in cell culture
(2013-02)Introduction: Viperid snakebite envenomings are characterized by muscle necrosis and a deficient regenerative response. Methods: Homogenates from gastrocnemius muscles of mice injected with the venom of the snake Bothrops ... -
Immunoglobulin G and F(ab')2 polyvalent antivenoms do not differ in their ability to neutralize hemorrhage, edema and myonecrosis induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom
(1997-11)The ability of whole immunoglobulin G (IgG) and F(ab')2 polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenoms to neutralize the hemorrhagic, edema-forming and myotoxic activities of Bothrops asper venom was studied. Both antivenoms were ... -
Increased Infectivity of Staphylococcus aureus in an Experimental Model of Snake Venom–Induced Tissue Damage
(2007-09-01)Soft-tissue infection is commonly found in patients bitten by Latin American Bothrops snakes. Staphylococcus aureus, which is not present in the mouth of the snake, is frequently isolated from these infections. The effects ... -
Pathological changes induced by BaH1, a hemorrhagic proteinase isolated from Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) snake venom, on mouse capillary blood vessels
(1994-08)The pathological changes induced in capillaries by BaH1, a hemorrhagic metalloproteinase isolated from the venom of Bothrops asper, were studied after i.m. injection in mouse gastrocnemius. Hemorrhage was observed ... -
Pharmacological modulation of edema induced by Lys-49 and Asp-49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1998-12)The pharmacological modulation of edema-forming activity of Bothrops asper myotoxins II and III, Lys-49 and Asp-49 phospholipases A2, respectively, was studied plethysmographically in the mouse foot pad model. Myotoxin III ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
