A new method for the detection of phospholipase A2 variants: Identification of isozymes in the venoms of newborn and adult Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snakes
(Elsevier B.V, 1988)E. Moreno, A. Alape, M. Sánchez and J. M. Gutiérrez. A new method for the detection of phospholipase A2 variants: identification of isozymes in the venoms of newborn and adult Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snakes. Toxicon ... -
An electrophoretic study on phospholipase A2 isoenzymes in the venoms of Central American crotaline snakes
(Elsevier, 1992)The number and isoelectric points of phospholipase A2 isoenzymes were studied in the venoms of 12 Central American crotaline snakes of the genera Bothrops, Crotalus, Lachesis and Agkistrodon. The study was carried out by ... -
Antimicrobial activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid snake venoms and synthetic peptide variants derived from their C-terminal region
(Elsevier, 2005)A short peptide derived from the C-terminal region of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2), was previously found to reproduce the bactericidal activity of its parent molecule. In this study, a panel ... -
Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom Synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115−129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region
(FEBS, 1998)Mammalian group-II phospholipases A2 (PLA2) of inflammatory fluids display bactericidal properties, which are dependent on their enzymatic activity. This study shows that myotoxins II (Lys49) and III (Asp49), two group-II ... -
Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ... -
Body distribution of Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom myotoxin and its relationship to pathological changes
(Pergamon Press, 1987-10-23)E. Moreno and J. M. Gutiérrez. Body distribution of Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom myotoxin and its relationship to pathological changes. Toxicon 26, 403 - 409, 1988. - The distribution of 125I-labelled Bothrops ... -
Depletion of complement enhances the clearance of Brucella abortus in mice
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018-08-06)Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and humans. Brucella abortus barely activates the innate immune system at the onset of infection, and this bacterium is resistant to the microbicidal action of complement. Since ... -
Detection of proteins antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms
(Pergamon Press, 1987-03-05)H. Loxtoxre, E, Moatnvo and J . M. GurtEsaez . Detation of proteins antigenically rdated to Bothrops riper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms. Tadcon 25, 947 -953, 1987 . - The presence of componrnts antigenically related ... -
Effect of adjuvants on the antibody response of mice to Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) snake venom
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1996)The adjuvant properties of several immunostimulant molecules on the murine antibody response to Bothrops asper snake venom were evaluated. Mice receiving venom together with either sodium alginate, calcium alginate, aluminum ... -
Natural resistance of bovine animals to micrurus nigrocinctus venom
(Elsevier, 1975-11)We Report in this paper on the in vivo resistance of bovine animals to the venom of the elapid Micrttrus nigrocinctas, the most prevalent coral snake in Costa Rica (TAYLOR et al., 1974). Apreliminary report has been published ... -
Snakebites are associated with poverty, weather fluctuations and El Niño
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2015-09-11)Snakebites are environmental and occupational health hazards that mainly affect rural populations worldwide. The ectothermic nature of snakes raises the issue of how climate change’s impact on snake ecology could ...
