Neutralization of crotalid venoms by fractions from snake sera
Abstract Neutralization of crotalid venoms by fractions from snake sera. Toxicon16, 603–609, 1978.—A protein fraction is present in the sera of snakes belonging to Crotalidae and Colubridae. which protects mice from the lethal effect of 5 ld 50 of crotalid venoms injected i.p. When the sera were subjected to ammonium sulfate fractionation, the 0–45%

Surgical technique for isolation of the main venom gland of viperid, crotalid and elapid snakes
Abstract The main venom glands of venomous snakes were isolated in situ by a harmless surgical technique. The surgery had no apparent effect on the snakes' appearance, disposition or feeding habits more than 2 years after surgery. The snake, after surgery, could serve as an excellent preparation for studying the venom secretory process in the main ...

Ophthalmic Exposure to Crotalid Venom
Crotalid venom exposure to the eye is uncommon. A 40-year-old woman sustained an accidental mucus membrane exposure of rattlesnake venom to her face and right eye. She was successfully treated with irrigation, topical antibiotics, and intravenous crotalid antivenin.

The Mechanism of Snake Venom Actions—Rattlesnakes and Other Crotalids
Of the nearly 2000 different types of snakes that exist, about 300 are known to be venomous. The venomous snakes are classified according to morphological characteristics and comprise five families: Crotalidae (crotalid), Viperidae (viperid), Elapidae (elapid), Hydrophiidae (sea-snakes), and Colubridae (colubrid).

Antibacterial Activity of Crotalid Venoms against Oral Snake Flora and Other Clinical Bacteria
Despite heavy oral and fang contamination of crotalid species with a wide variety of potentially pathogenic bacteria, crotalid envenomation is associated with a low incidence of bacterial infection. Minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of venoms from three crotalid species were determined against six aerobic and eight anaerobic reference ...

Crotalid venom vascular endothelial growth factors has preferential affinity for VEGFR-1
SummaryPm-VEGF, a novel member ofVEGF family from the venom gland of Taiwan habu (Protobothrops mucrosquamatu), is a disulfidelinked homodimer with 119 amino acid residues. Recombinant fusion Pm-VEGF was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and refolded.

Abstract The results of treatment by amputation or by variations of ligature-incisionsuction (LIS) were compared in New Zealand rabbits inoculated with three lethal doses of either the cytotoxic venom of Crotalus adamanteus or the neurotoxic venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, pit vipers of the Western Hemisphere.

Antigenic relationships between Mojave toxin subunits, Mojave toxin and some crotalid venoms
Immunochemical responses of a number of pit viper venoms to antibodies derived separately from the acidic and basic subunits were investigated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Ouchterlony immunodiffusion. The polyclonal antisera to the basic subunit were generated in rabbits, whereas mouse hybridoma cell cultures were used to produce ...

The Clinical Problem of Crotalid Snake Venom Poisoning
Bites by snakes of the family Crotalidae are usually medical emergencies requiring immediate attention and the exercise of considerable judgment. Delayed or inadequate treatment may result in undue harm to the patient and may result in tragic consequences.
