| south american snake venom proteins antigenically related to bothrops asper myotoxins. | 1. the presence of proteins antigenically related to bothrops asper myotoxins in various snake venoms, mainly from south america, was investigated by using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. 2. myotoxin-like components were detected in ten bothrops venoms from south america, and in the venoms of crotalus atrox (north america), trimeresurus flavoviridis (japan), and micrurus alleni (costa rica). 3. cross-reactive components detected in several bothrops venoms show a common subunit of 15-16 kda ... | 1990 | 1710160 |
| snake venomics of micrurus alleni and micrurus mosquitensis from the caribbean region of costa rica reveals two divergent compositional patterns in new world elapids. | protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of micrurus alleni and micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the caribbean region of costa rica, were studied. proteomic profiling revealed that these venoms display highly divergent compositions: the former dominated by three-finger toxins (3ftx) and the latter by phospholipases a2 (pla2). protein family abundances correlated with enzymatic and toxic characteristics of the venoms. ... | 2015 | 26325292 |
| [a fish prey found in the coral snake micrurus alleni (serpentes: elapidae) in costa rica]. | a fish prey found in the coral snake micrurus alleni (serpentes: elapidae) in costa rica. the presence of a small specimen of the swamp eel synbranchus marmoratus (84 mm total length) in the stomach contents of an adult coral snake micrurus alleni with 692 mm total length from the caribbean versant of costa rica is reported. this eel was swallowed headfirst. | 2016 | 17354435 |
| electrophoretic and immunochemical studies of micrurus snake venoms. | the electrophoretic mobilities of venom components from 15 micrurus species were studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the venoms showed species-specific protein patterns under native (page) or denaturing (urea-page) conditions. however, electrophoretic patterns obtained by sds-page under reducing conditions were similar. the proteins of all venoms had mol. wts either in the range of 45 to 75 kda or lower than 14.5 kda. page and urea-page of single extraction venom samples from 22 m. ni ... | 1994 | 7940577 |
