Antivenoms for Snakebite Envenomings
Inflammation & Allergy - Drug Targets, 2011 Animal-derived antivenoms constitute the mainstay in the therapy of snakebite envenoming. Antivenoms are manufactured by immunizing animals, usually horses, with venoms from a single or several medically-relevant snake species. Antivenoms are constituted by either whole IgG molecules or the immunoglobulin fragments F(ab')₂ and Fab, obtained by ...
