| protease activity and lethal toxicity of venoms from some little known rattlesnakes. | information on yield, lethality, and protease activity is given for venoms of crotalus exul, c. p. pricei, c. pusillus, c. w. willardi and sistrurus ravus. lethal toxicity of c. tigris venom (ld50 i.v. 0.056 mg/kg; s.c. 0.21 mg/kg) is the highest known for any rattlesnake venom. the lethal potency of c. pricei venom is high by i.v. but not by s.c. injection. both these venoms lack protease activity. c. pusillus venom is lowest in lethality. | 1984 | 6395444 |
| antibacterial and hemolytic activity of crotalus triseriatus and crotalus ravus venom. | rattlesnakes have venoms with a complex toxin mixture comprised of polypeptides and proteins. previous studies have shown that some of these polypeptides are of high value for the development of new medical treatments. the aim of the present study is to evaluate, in vitro, the antibacterial and hemolytic activity of crotalus triseriatus and crotalus ravus venoms. a direct field search was conducted to obtain crotalus triseriatus and crotalus ravus venom samples. these were evaluated to determine ... | 2020 | 32054095 |
