Isolation and partial characterization of a myotoxin from the venom of the snake Bothrops nummifer
(1986)
A myotoxin from the venom of the snake Bothrops nummifer was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex. The toxin is a basic dimer with a subunit molecular weight of 16,000, as estimated by ...
Detection of proteins antigenically-related to Bothrops asper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms
(1987)
The presence of components antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin was investigated by Western blotting and immunoelectrophoretic techniques. B. asper myotoxin is a non-glycosylated monomeric phospholipase A with ...
Venom Composition and Diet of the Cantil Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi (Serpentes: Viperidae)
(1999-12)
The southernmost subspecies of the cantil, Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi, occurs in almost all terrestrial habitats of the sector Santa Rosa National Park, in Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica. We obtained 21 ...
Efecto del suero antiofídico sobre la actividad hemolítica del complemento humano (in vitro) y de conejo (in vitro e in vivo).
(1989)
En el presente trabajo se investigó el efecto del suero antiofídico polivalente, producido en Costa Rica, sobre la actividad hemolítica (CH50) del complemento sérico humano (in vitro) y de conejo (in vitro e in vivo). ...
Estudios cariológicos de cinco especies de serpientes costarricenses de la familia colubridae
(1984)
The karyotypes of five species of colubrid snakes from Costa Rica are as follows: Imuntodes cenchao and Drymobius margaritiferus have a diploid number of 36, with 16 macro- and 20 microchromosomes. The fourth pair is ...
Estudio comparativo de venenos de ejemplares recien nacidos y adultos de Bothrops asper
(1980)
Se estudiaron comparativamente los venenos de ejemplares recién nacidas (menos de un mes de edad) y adultas de Bothrops asper de dos regiones costarricenses: San Carlos en la vertiente atlántica y Puriscal en la pacífica. ...
Bothrops asper: Beauty and peril in the Neotropics
(2009-12-01)
Snakes have inspired fascination and fear to humans since ancient times, as reflected by the common presence of these reptiles in the mythology of many civilizations. Such sense of awe has been associated to the impact ...
Selecting key toxins for focused development of elapid snake antivenoms and inhibitors guided by a Toxicity Score
(2015-09-15)
For more than 100 years, antivenoms have been produced by traditional methods of immunization of large mammals with mixtures of snake venoms (World Health Organization, 2010 and Gutiérrez et al., 2011). With the introduction ...
Integrated “omics” profiling indicates that miRNAs are modulators of the ontogenetic venom composition shift in the Central American rattlesnake, Crotalus simus simus
(2013)
Background
Understanding the processes that drive the evolution of snake venom is a topic of great research interest in molecular and evolutionary toxinology. Recent studies suggest that ontogenetic changes in venom ...
