Discovery of an Insect Neuroactive Helix Ring Peptide From Ant Venom
Toxins, 2023 Ants are among the most abundant terrestrial invertebrate predators on Earth. To overwhelm their prey, they employ several remarkable behavioral, physiological, and biochemical innovations, including an effective paralytic venom.

Using time-resolved fluorescence to measure serum venom-specific IgE and IgG. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 We adapted DELFIA™ (dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay), a time resolved fluorescence method, to quantitate whole venom specific and allergenic peptide-specific IgE (sIgE), sIgG(1) and sIgG(4) in serum from people clinically allergic to ...

BIOTECHNOLOGY APPROACH TO PERFORM A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF BEE VENOM AGAINST COVID-19 [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2021 Arthropod venoms have multiple effect on antivirus and antibacterial infection especially,bee venom (BV), which has a specific character among other due to its ant-proliferative potential,antiviral, antimicrobial and antitumor activity. Venom-based drugs

Local Field Potential‐Based Programming: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) is still based on a trial‐and‐error approach, often becoming a time‐consuming process for both treating physicians and patients. Several strategies have been proposed to streamline DBS programming, most of which are preliminary and mainly address Parkinson's disease, a condition readily ...

Ant venoms contain vertebrate-selective pain-causing sodium channel toxins
Nature Communications, 2023 Stings of certain ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) can cause intense, long-lasting nociception. Here we show that the major contributors to these symptoms are venom peptides that modulate the activity of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels, reducing

Anaphylaxis caused by stings from the Solenopsis invicta, lava-pés ant or red imported fi re ant [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2015 Ants are social insects with species of medical interest, such as the fi re ants (Solenopsis sp.). The sting causes inflammation, vesicles and sterile pustules, which may cause allergic phenomena and even anaphylactic shock.
