Snake Antivenoms: Heterologous and Polyclonal Antisera

Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 2003
Animal sera are the only source for antivenom production today. The main disadvantage of heterologous protein products is frequent adverse reactions due to contaminant protein, other than antibody. They are also in very short supply worldwide as traditional manufacturers have discontinued production due to economic constraints.

Merit and Demerit of Polyvalent Snake Antivenoms

Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 2003
Polyvalent antivenoms contain specific antibodies capable of neutralizing a number of homologous venoms from different species/genera. They can save lives of victims of snake envenomations, even when the culprit snake has not been identified (the usual case, about 80% of the time), and a monovalent antivenom ca not be chosen.

[Role of antivenoms in the treatment of snake envenomation].

Bulletin de l'Academie nationale de medecine, 2015
The production of antivenoms, which were long deemed ineffective, dangerous and difficult to use, has improved dramatically. These antibodies (immunoglobulin G) are now fragmented, purified and controlled for their quality, leading to significantly better safety and facilitating their emergency use.
