Crotoxin B: Heterologous Expression, Protein Folding, Immunogenic Properties, and Irregular Presence in Crotalid Venoms [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Crotoxin complex CA/CB and crotamine are the main toxins associated with Crotalus envenomation besides the enzymatic activities of phospholipases (PLA2) and proteases.

Effect of suramin on myotoxicity of some crotalid snake venoms [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002 We investigated the protective effect of suramin, an enzyme inhibitor and an uncoupler of G protein from receptors, on the myotoxic activity in mice of different crotalid snake venoms (A.c. laticinctus, C.v. viridis, C.d. terrificus, B.

Toxins, 2021 Phospholipases A2s (PLA2s) constitute one of the major protein groups present in the venoms of viperid and crotalid snakes. Snake venom PLA2s (svPLA2s) exhibit a remarkable functional diversity, as they have been described to induce a myriad of toxic ...

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 A 0.34 kg adult female Massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus) was presented for evaluation of a subcutaneous mass affecting the ventral scales. The mass was diagnosed as a sarcoma via punch biopsy with no evidence of metastasis on diagnostic imaging. Surgical margins of 1‐2 cm were planned to achieve complete excision of the neoplasm. A technique

Serum proteins and electrophoretic profile in horses undergoing crotalid venom hyperimmunization
Journal of Equine Science, 2022 Indisputably, the use of antivenoms for the treatment of snakebite envenoming is beneficial for the victims. However, there are few studies addressing the effect of long-term hyperimmunization in inoculated horses. It is known that the injection of snake venoms and adjuvants leads to local and systemic reactions in horses, but little is known about the

Polyamines as Snake Toxins and Their Probable Pharmacological Functions in Envenomation
Toxins, 2016 While decades of research have focused on snake venom proteins, far less attention has been paid to small organic venom constituents. Using mostly pooled samples, we surveyed 31 venoms (six elapid, six viperid, and 19 crotalid) for spermine, spermidine ...

North American Pit Viper Envenomation
MedEdPORTAL, 2015 Acute snake envenomation is an uncommon but potentially serious envenomation causing local tissue injury, hematologic derangements, and systemic effects. The purpose of this simulation is to present an acute snake envenomation case that allows residents,

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxicity and haemotoxicity of the Western barred (zebra) spitting cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) venom to help explain atypical and inconsistent reports on syndromes by Namibian physicians treating victims of human ophidian accidents. Freeze‐dried venom milked from adult zebra snakes was dissolved in
