Application

Snake venom from Vipera russelli (Russell′s Viper) has also been used as a positive control in indirect and sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to study the performance of the immunochromatographic test (ICT)-Viper in venom detection in vitro and the detection of clinical envenoming, respectively.[1]
Snake venom from Vipera russelli (Russell′s Viper) has been used for extraction of coagulant protein for complex generation with bovine X factor.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Snake venom can impose death on humans and animals.[3] Nevertheless, snake venom also exhibits anti-bacterial and wound healing properties.[4] Therefore, it is used as a therapeutic for treating various diseases including thrombosis, arthritis, and cancer.[3]
Snake venom from Russell′s Viper is rich in toxins and proteinase inhibitors.[5] The receptor from Vipera russelli β-RTX, interacts with monoamines and opiate and prevents their interaction with native receptors.[6] The proteases from Russell′s Viper mediate coagulation in human plasma.[7] The neurotoxicity of the venom is contributed by phospholipases.[8]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can V2501 be diluted? Where can I find the documentation for this process?

    1 answer
    1. The supplier has provided the following information: store the powder at -20°C and dissolve it in sterile water, typically at 20 mg/ml. The solution may appear slightly hazy. It is recommended to store the solution in aliquots at -80°C, but -20°C is suitable for a short period of time, although the supplier does not define what is meant by a 'short period'. It is advised to avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles, and the supplier suggests aliquoting the product once in solution.
