Impact of Regional Variation in Bothrops asper Snake Venom on the Design of Antivenoms: Integrating Antivenomics and Neutralization Approaches
(2010-10-21)
Intraspecific snake venom variations have implications in the preparation of venom pools for the generation of antivenoms. The impact of such variation in the cross-reactivity of antivenoms against Bothrops asper venom was ...
Venom, venomics, antivenomics
(2009)
Venoms comprise mixtures of peptides and proteins tailored by Natural Selection to act on vital systems
of the prey or victim. Here we review our proteomic protocols for uncoiling the composition,
immunological profile, ...

Feeding behavior and venom toxicity of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus (Serpentes: Elapidae) on its natural prey in captivity
(2004-08)
The feeding behavior and venom toxicity of the coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus (Serpentes: Elapidae) on its natural prey in captivity were investigated. Coral snakes searched for their prey (the colubrid snake Geophis ...

Proteome analysis of snake venom toxins: pharmacological insights
(Expert Reviews, 2008-12-01)
Snake venoms are an extremely rich source of pharmacologically active proteins with a considerable clinical and medical potential. To date, this potential has not been fully explored, mainly because of our incomplete ...

Venom-Sweet-Venom: N-Linked Glycosylation in Snake Venom Toxins
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2009)
Protein glycosylation represents one of the most important post-translational events, and is a mean of diversifying a protein without recourse to the genome. The venoms produced by snakes contain an abundance of glycoproteins ...
New insights into the phylogeographic distribution of the 3FTx/PLA2 venom dichotomy across genus Micrurus in South America
(2019)
Micrurus is a monophyletic genus of venomous coral snakes of the family Elapidae. The ~80 recognized species
within this genus are endemic to the Americas, and are distributed from southeastern United States to ...
Oral microbiota of Brazilian captive snakes
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP), 2009-01-01)
The present work aimed to determine the oral microbiotic composition of snakes from Sao Jose do Rio Preto city, São Paulo State, Brazil. Ten snake species, comprising the families Boidae, Colubridae, Elapidae and Viperidae, ...
