Proteomic analysis of the mandibular glands from the Chinese crocodile lizard, Shinisaurus crocodilurus – another venomous lizard?
(2023)
Based on its phylogenetic relationship to monitor lizards (Varanidae), Gila monsters (Heloderma spp.), and the earless monitor Lanthanotus borneesis, the Chinese crocodile lizard, Shinisaurus crocodilurus, has been assigned ...
Amino acid sequence and biological characterization of BlatPLA2, a non-toxic acidic phospholipase A2 from the venom of the arboreal snake Bothriechis lateralis from Costa Rica
(2013-10)
Bothriechis is considered a monophyletic, basal genus of arboreal Neotropical pitvipers
distributed across Middle America. The four species found in Costa Rica (B. lateralis, B.
schlegeli, B. nigroviridis, B. supraciliaris) ...
Snake venomics of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis from the Caribbean region of Costa Rica reveals two divergent compositional patterns in New World elapids
(2015-12-01)
Protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, were ...
Antivenomics and in vivo preclinical efficacy of six Latin American antivenoms towards south-western Colombian Bothrops asper lineage venoms
(2021)
Snakebite envenoming is an important occupational health problem, particularly in rural areas of developing countries. The timely administration of an effective antivenom remains the mainstay of snakebite management. ...
Snake Venomics of Central American Pitvipers: Clues for Rationalizing the Distinct Envenomation Profiles of Atropoides nummifer and Atropoides picadoi
(2008)
We report the proteomic characterization of the Central American pitvipers Atropoides nummifer and
Atropoides picadoi. The crude venoms were fractionated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC), ...
Preclinical evaluation of three polyspecific antivenoms against the venom of Echis ocellatus: Neutralization of toxic activities and antivenomics
(2016-09-01)
Snakebite envenoming has a heavy burden in the public health in sub-Saharan Africa. The viperid species Echis ocellatus (carpet viper or saw-scaled viper) is the medically most important snake in the savannahs of western ...
Characterization of a novel snake venom component: Kazal-type inhibitor-like protein from the arboreal pitviper Bothriechis schlegelii
(2016-06)
Snake venoms are composed mainly of a mixture of proteins and peptides. Notably, all snake venom toxins have been assigned to a small number of protein families. Proteomic studies on snake venoms have recently identified ...
Venom, venomics, antivenomics
(2009)
Venoms comprise mixtures of peptides and proteins tailored by Natural Selection to act on vital systems
of the prey or victim. Here we review our proteomic protocols for uncoiling the composition,
immunological profile, ...
Proteomic analysis of venom variability and ontogeny across the arboreal palm-pitvipers (genus Bothriechis)
(2017-01)
Bothriechis is a genus of eleven currently recognized slender and arboreal venomous snakes, commonly called
palm-pitvipers that range from southern Mexico to northern South America. Despite dietary studies suggesting
that ...
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia. Snake venomics from a 26-years old polyacrylamide focusing gel
(2012)
A 26-year-old dried polyacrylamide gel, cast in presence of an immobilized pH gradient and
containing focused proteins from the venoms of a northern black-tailed rattlesnake (Crotalus
molossus molossus), and of a western ...
