Recombinant snake antivenoms get closer to the clinic
Trends in ImmunologySnakebite envenomings kill ~100 000 victims each year and leave many more with permanent sequelae. Antivenoms have been available for more than 125 years but are in need of innovation. A new study by Khalek et al. highlights broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that might be used to develop recombinant antivenoms with superior ...

Polyspecific snake antivenom: manufacturing method development and toxicity profiling using an invertebrate model [PDF]
Snakebite envenoming (SBE) presents unmet challenges particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Almost all SBE in SSA is due to bites by snakes belonging to the Elapidae and Viperidae families. Antivenom is highly effective in treating SBE.
