Toxicon, 1991 The amounts of kinin-releasing enzymes in the venoms of Crotalus atrox, Crotalus adamanteus, Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus and Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus were measured by determining the amounts of kinin released from a sheep kininogen substrate by means of a specific radioimmunoassay. Four monospecific and two commercial polyspecific antivenom

Isolation and characterization of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid venoms
Toxicon, 1986 Phospholipases A2 producing myonecrosis when injected i.m. into mice were isolated from venoms of Trimeresurus flavoviridis, Agkistrodon bilineatus, A. c. contortrix, A. c. mokeson, A. p. piscivorus and Bothrops asper by gels filtration on Sephadex G-75 followed by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose.

Toxicon, 2000 Some California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi) show limited necrosis following envenomation by northern Pacific rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis oreganus). This study demonstrates that S. beecheyi blood sera inhibits venom proteases. Sera from rattlesnake-abundant habitats inhibited C. v.

Neutralization of crotalid venoms by fractions from snake sera
Toxicon, 1978 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%

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1969 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.

Surgical technique for isolation of the main venom gland of viperid, crotalid and elapid snakes
Toxicon, 1973 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 ...

The Clinical Problem of Crotalid Snake Venom Poisoning
, 1979 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.

Antibacterial Activity of Crotalid Venoms against Oral Snake Flora and Other Clinical Bacteria
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1991 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
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2005 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.

Antigenic relationships between Mojave toxin subunits, Mojave toxin and some crotalid venoms
Toxicon, 1986 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 ...
