Resistance of cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) to venom from the scorpion Centruroides limpidus limpidus [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases, 2013 Background : The venom of Centruroides limpidus limpidus (Cll) is a mixture of pharmacologically active principles. The most important of these are toxic proteins that interact both selectively and specifically with different cellular targets such as ion

Novel K+-channel-blocking toxins from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides limpidus limpidus Karsch [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1994 Two novel toxins were purified from the venom of the Mexican scorpion Centruroides limpidus limpidus, using an immunoassay based on antibodies raised against noxiustoxin (NTX), a known K(+)-channel-blocker-peptide. The primary structure of C. l. limpidus toxin 1 was obtained by Edman degradation and was shown to be composed of 38 amino acid residues ...

Antimicrobial peptide induction in the haemolymph of the Mexican scorpion Centruroides limpidus limpidus in response to septic injury [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2004 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are essential components of host defences against infectious microrganisms. In chelicerate organisms they have been implicated in three alternative defensive systems: one is defined by the immediate up-regulation of genes encoding AMPs, another is characterized by the inducible systemic release of AMPs from cellular ...

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996 Two novel toxins containing 66 amino acid residues each were isolated from the venom of the scorpions Centruroides infamatus infamatus and Centruroides limpidus limpidus, respectively. Their full amino acid sequences were determined. Comparison of primary structures showed that they share 97% similarity among themselves and 83% to that of toxin 2 from ...

Cophylogenetic analysis suggests cospeciation between the Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade symbionts and their hosts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Scorpions are predator arachnids of ancient origin and worldwide distribution. Two scorpion species, Vaejovis smithi and Centruroides limpidus, were found to harbor two different Mollicutes phylotypes: a Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade (SMC) and Scorpion Group

Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom Induces Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer Cell Lines [PDF]
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Cervical cancer (CC) is classified as the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide and remains a serious public health problem in many underdeveloped countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly types 16 and 18, has been established as a precursory etiologic agent for this type of cancer.
