This study was performed to assess the ability of polyvalent snake venom anti-serum, produced by the Egyptian Organization for Biological Products & Vaccines (VACSERA), to neutralize several toxic activities of snake venoms, not only of those included in the antivenom

The fluorescent probe 8-anilinonaphtalene-1-sulfonate (ANS) binds at the active site of the Naja melanoleuca snake venom phospholipase A2, thus protecting the enzyme against active-site-directed chemical modification. Both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions are involved in the binding. At pH 7.5, a

Pyrularia thionin (P. thionin) is a strongly basic peptide of 47 amino acids which is hemolytic, cytotoxic and neurotoxic. It shows the greatest hemolytic activity toward human erythrocytes. Rabbit, guinea pig and pig erythrocytes show decreasing activity in that order

Unlike porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2, the enzyme from Naja melanoleuca does not display biphasic kinetic behaviour at substrate concentrations around the critical micelle concentration. This snake venom enzyme was further investigated by direct binding studies using n-tridecylphosphocholine. Binding of this

Although B. bronchiseptica efficiently infects a wide range of mammalian hosts and efficiently spreads among them, it is rarely observed in humans. In contrast to the many other hosts of B. bronchiseptica, humans are host to the apparently specialized pathogen
