متن کاملSnake Venom, Anti-snake Venom & Potential of Snake Venom
Many active secretions produced by animals have been employed in the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as hypertension and cancer. Snake venom toxins contributed significantly to the treatment of many medical conditions. Venomous snakes have a bad reputation and rightly so because of their often deadly bites. But what makes a snake’s bite so deadly is the venom. Of the 3000 snake ...
متن کاملThe occurrence of HR1b in the venom of the snake Okinawa habu (Protobothrops flavoviridis).
This study describes the first isolation of hemorrhagic metalloproteinase HR1b from the venom of Okinawa habu, and its cDNA cloning. The substrate specificity of isolated HR1b definitely differed from that of HR1a, further supporting the presence of a metalloproteinase distinguishable from HR1a in the venom of Okinawa habu. The deduced amino acid sequence of HR1b showed 99.67% identity with HR1...
متن کاملEnhancement of hepatic microsomal aniline hydroxylation by Habu snake (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) venom fractions.
Enhancement of aniline hydroxylation by Habu snake venom was studied in vitro. The fraction which was isolated from Habu venom through column chromatography caused the enhancement of aniline hydroxylation of hepatic microsomes obtained from untreated rats. This fraction was heat stable and free from phospholipase activity. Enhancement of aniline hydroxylation was not clear in crude Habu venom o...
متن کاملImmune response of man to Habu-venom toxoid.
Immune response of man to various Habu-venom toxoids with different potencies was investigated. A linear relationship was observed between circulating anti-HRI and the amount of HRI toxoid used for the basic immunization. A highly purified toxoid was 2.5 times more effective in man than partially purified ones, when compared on the basis of the immunizing unit determined in guinea pigs. Out of ...
