Venomics-Accelerated Cone Snail Venom Peptide Discovery [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Cone snail venoms are considered a treasure trove of bioactive peptides. Despite over 800 species of cone snails being known, each producing over 1000 venom peptides, only about 150 unique venom peptides are structurally and functionally characterized.

Mast cells and IgE in defense against venoms: Possible "good side" of allergy?

Allergology International, 2016
Physicians think of mast cells and IgE primarily in the context of allergic disorders, including fatal anaphylaxis. This 'bad side' of mast cells and IgE is so well accepted that it can be difficult to think of them in other contexts, particularly those ...
