Toxinological profile and histopathological alterations induced by Bothrocophias campbelli venom from Colombia
(2024)
Snakebite envenomings most frequently reported in Colombia are caused by snakes of the genera Bothrops, Bothriechis, Bothrocophias, and Porthidium. Their venoms induce local and systemic pathophysiological effects, sometimes ...
Nociones de Inmunologia
(2018)
La primera versión de este breve texto nació en 1990, con el objetivo de presentar al estudiante una visión rápida de los principios generales de la Inmunología, a un nivel introductorio. El texto está dirigido principalmente ...
Innovative immunization strategies for antivenom development
(2018)
Snakes, scorpions, and spiders are venomous animals that pose a threat to human
health, and severe envenomings from the bites or stings of these animals must be treated with
antivenom. Current antivenoms are based on ...
Envenomations by Bothrops and Crotalus Snakes Induce the Release of Mitochondrial Alarmins
(PLoS Negl Trop Dis 6(2): e1526, 2012-02-21)
Skeletal muscle necrosis is a common manifestation of viperid snakebite envenomations. Venoms from snakes of the genus Bothrops, such as that of B. asper, induce muscle tissue damage at the site of venom injection, provoking ...
Isolation of a galactose-binding lectin from the venom of the snake Bothrops godmani (Godmann's pit viper).
(1990)
A galactose-binding
lectin, isolated from the venom of B. gotlmani by affinity chromatography . is
an acidic protein (pI 4.9) with a subunit mol. wt of about 14,000, occurring
mostly as a disulfide-linked dimer of 28,000. ...
Venomics of the Central American Lyre snake Trimorphodon quadruplex (Colubridae: Smith, 1941) from Costa Rica
(2020)
Rear-fanged colubrid snakes include hundreds of species globally that possess a Duvernoy's venom gland and often one-several enlarged rear maxillary teeth. We investigated the venom proteome of the Central American Lyre ...
Comparison of biochemical and cytotoxic activities of extracts obtained from dorsal spines and caudal fin of adult and juvenile non-native Caribbean lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles)
(2017-10)
Pterois volitans/miles lionfish (adult and juvenile) dorsal spines and caudal fin extracts were compared in
their general composition, enzymatic activities and hemolytic and cytotoxic effects on bovine aortic
endothelial ...
Inhibitory effect of fucoidan on the activities of crotaline snake venom myotoxic phospholipases A2
(2003)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 account for most of the muscle necrosis that results from envenenomation by crotaline snakes. In this study,
we investigated the protective effect of fucoidan, a natural sulfated polysaccharide ...
Venom of the neotropical rattlesnake, Crotalus culminatus: Intraspecific variation, neutralization by antivenoms, and immunogenicity in rabbits
(2024)
Crotalus culminatus is a medically significant species of rattlesnake in Mexico [1]. While the proteomic composition of its venom has been previously reported for both juvenile and adult specimens, there has been limited ...
Assessing the preclinical efficacy of antivenoms: From the lethality neutralization assay to antivenomics
(2013-07)
The assessment of the capacity of antivenoms to neutralize the lethal activity of snake
venoms is the gold standard in the preclinical analysis of antivenom efficacy, and is
routinely performed by manufacturers and quality ...
