Insect venom phospholipases A1 and A2: Roles in the envenoming process and allergy

, 2019
Insect venom phospholipases have been identified in nearly all clinically relevant social Hymenoptera, including bees, wasps and ants. Among other biological roles, during the envenoming process these enzymes cause the disruption of cellular membranes ...

Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) Disorders: An Update on Emerging Treatments

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a heterogeneous group of heritable, mostly recessive, progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by iron deposition in the basal ganglia and brainstem. There are no solid global epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence of NBIA subtypes, but registry data and ...

Endogenous phospholipase A2 inhibitors in snakes: a brief overview

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2017
The blood plasma of numerous snake species naturally comprises endogenous phospholipase A2 inhibitors, which primarily neutralize toxic phospholipases A2 that may eventually reach their circulation.

Identification, isolation and purification of neurotoxic phospholipases A2 from Vipera russelli venom using polyclonal antibodies

, 1992
All the neurotoxic phospholipases A2 present in whole Vipera russelli venom were precipitated selectively from other non-neurotoxic phospholipases A2 and non-phospholipases A2 fractions using antibodies (anti PL-V Ig) raised against one of the purified ...
