Acetylcholinesterase in Elapid Snakes
1998Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays a key role in cholinergic transmission, but is also present in non-cholinergic contexts where its function is not clearly known (1). This is the case in pulmonary and intestinal epitheliums, salivary glands, or blood cells surface. AChE is a very abundant protein in the venom of some Elapids snakes (2–3).

Rationalisation of First-Aid Measures for Elapid Snakebite
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 1979The plasma of monkeys envenomated with tiger snake (Notechis scutatus) venom was monitored by radioimmunoassay for both crude venom and a neurotoxin. When the injected limb was immobilised and a pressure of 55 mm Hg applied to the injection site, only very low levels of circulating venom or neurotoxin were detectable. In practical terms, venom movement

Properties of some 3-nitrotyrosyl elapid venom cardiotoxins
International Journal of Biochemistry, 1987Nitration of the invariant Tyr-22 in Hemachatus haemachates cardiotoxin 12B did not greatly decrease lethality, and the haemolytic potency towards guinea-pig erythrocytes remained unchanged. This residue is thus non-essential for cardiotoxin to exert its biological action.

Clinical Aspects of Elapid Bite
1971Although the elapid family comprises numerous species, the rationale of dealing with the clinical aspects of their bites jointly is their having in common neurotoxic symptomatology as the preponderant feature. In this characteristic they differ from the Viperidae and the Crotalidae whose bites mainly produce blood clotting disturbances, hemorrhage, and

Elapid snakebite as a cause of severe hypertension
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2006Snakebite is a common medical emergency in tropical countries, however, autonomic dysfunction is an uncommon manifestation of snakebite. The authors present an unusual manifestation of severe neurotoxic snake envenomation: severe hypertension requiring intravenous antihypertensives.

They also object to our criticisms about applying in vitro venom measurements using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cited the in vitro measurement of venom–antivenom complexes to support their claim that a single vial of antivenom provides ...

Identification and discrimination of snake venoms from Egyptian elapids
Toxicon, 2013The avidity to the corresponding antigens is often higher than to the cross-reactive antigens. This was demonstrated with the highly cross-reactive elapid Egyptian snake venoms Naja haje (Nh), Naja nigricollis (Nn) and Walterinnesia aegyptia (Wa), and used for the differentiation among the three species in a simple ELISA-based assay.

Cysteine proteinase inhibitors in elapid and hydrophiid snake venoms
Toxicon, 2002The ability of elapid and hydrophiid snake venoms to inhibit cathepsin L was tested. All nine species of elapid and three species of hydrophiid snake venoms tested showed inhibition against cathepsin L. All of these venoms tested also showed inhibition against papain as well as against cathepsin L. Among these venoms, two elapid (Laticauda semifasciata

Paraspecific protection by elapid and sea snake antivenins
Toxicon, 1967Abstract Seventeen elapid antivenins and one sea snake antivenin were tested for neutralizing activity against a panel of fifteen elapid venom samples (eight Naja, three Bungarus, one each of Ophiophagus, Hemachatus, Walterinnesia and Micrurus) and one sea snake (Enhydrina) sample. Assays were made by injecting mice subcutaneously with 2–10 ld 50 of

Molecular cloning of serine proteases from elapid snake venoms
Toxicon, 2007Serine proteases are widely distributed in viperid snake venoms, but rare in elapid snake venoms. Previously, we have identified a fibrinogenolytic enzyme termed OhS1 from the venom of Ophiophagus hannah. The results indicated that OhS1 might be a serine protease, but there was no structural evidence previously.
