Electrical Cell Impedance Sensing (ECIS): Feasibility of a Novel In Vitro Approach to Studying Venom Toxicity and Potential Therapeutics [PDF]
ToxinsSnakebite envenoming is often discussed in terms of lethality and limb loss, but local tissue injury and coagulotoxic effects of venom are significantly more common acute manifestations of snakebite envenoming (SBE).

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum. [PDF]
ChemMedChemA fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...
