Ability of rabbit antiserum against crotapotin to neutralize the neurotoxic, myotoxic and phospholipase A(2) activities of crotoxin from Crotalus durissus cascavella snake venom

, 2015
The toxicity of crotoxin, the major toxin of Crotalus durissus terrificus (South American rattlesnake) venom, is mediated by its basic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) subunit. This PLA(2) is non-covalently associated with crotapotin, an acidic, enzymatically

Exploring Venom Diversity in Mixcoatlus browni and Mixcoatlus barbouri: A Comparative Analysis of Two Rare Mexican Snake Species with Crotoxin-like Presence.

Biochimie
The genus Mixcoatlus is composed of three species: Mixcoatlus barbouri, M. browni, and M. melanurus, of which the venom composition of M. melanurus, the most common species of the three, has only recently been described.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of crotoxin B from Crotalus durissus collilineatus venom [PDF]

, 2009
Crotoxin B is a basic phospholipase A(2) found in the venom of several Crotalus durissus ssp. rattlesnakes and is one of the subunits that constitute crotoxin, the main component of the venom of these snakes.

Cross-neutralization of the neurotoxicity of Crotalus durissus terrificus and Bothrops jararacussu venoms by antisera against crotoxin and phospholipase A(2) from Crotalus durissus cascavella venom

, 2015
We have previously demonstrated that rabbit antisera raised against crotoxin from Crotalus durissus cascavella venom (cdc-crotoxin) and its PLA(2) (cdc-PLA(2)) neutralized the neurotoxicity of this venom and its crotoxin.
