Immunological studies on Naja nigricollis antivenin

Toxicon, 1973
Abstract Monovalent Naja nigricollis antivenin was prepared in horses using venom adsorbed to bentonite (first three injections) followed by increasing doses (up to 50 mg) of unmodified venom. The serum (1 ml) neutralized 51 ld 50 's of its homologous venom. Good neutralizing capacity (30–50 ld 50 's per ml) was also shown against venoms of N.
