Antivenoms for Snakebite Envenomings
(2011-10)
Animal-derived antivenoms constitute the mainstay in the therapy of snakebite envenoming. Antivenoms are manufactured by immunizing animals, usually horses, with venoms from a single or several medically-relevant snake ...

Second generation snake antivenomics: Comparing immunoaffinity and immunodepletion protocols
(2012-09-15)
A second generation antivenomics protocol, based on affinity chromatography, was compared with a previously (first generation) immunodepletion protocol using as a proof of principle the pan-African EchiTAb-Plus-ICP® IgG ...

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 ...
Pharmacokinetics of whole IgG equine antivenom: comparison between normal and envenomed rabbits
(2006-09-01)
Pharmacokinetics of antivenoms has been mainly studied in normal animals, whereas very little is known on pharmacokinetics in envenomed animals. The aim of this study was to compare pharmacokinetic parameters of whole IgG ...

Assessing the preclinical efficacy of antivenoms: From the lethality neutralization assay to antivenomics
(2013-07)
The assessment of the capacity of antivenoms to neutralize the lethal activity of snake
venoms is the gold standard in the preclinical analysis of antivenom efficacy, and is
routinely performed by manufacturers and quality ...

Intramuscular administration of antivenoms in experimental envenomation by Bothrops asper: comparison between Fab and IgG
(2003-02)
The efficacy of intramuscular (im) administration of sheep Fab and IgG antivenoms was assessed in a mouse experimental model of envenomation by Bothrops asper, in order to test if the more rapid absorption of Fab improves ...
