The present invention provides processes for selection of monospecific and bispecific anti-venom antibodies. The antibodies are used for developing devices which are can detect the snake species responsible for envenomation. The invention represents an advancement over the existing methods for providing ...
Snakebite is a medical emergency causing considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in the tropics. Snake venom components are known to vary greatly leading to varied clinical manifestations following snakebite. The success of antivenom
A bite site swab was sent for testing with a snake venom detection kit and was positive for tiger snake. Thrombotic microangiopathy in two tiger snake envenomations Since snake venom is a complex mixture of polypeptides and proteins, the researchers believe that they are a veritable gold mine ...
average venom concentrations, but further optimization is required to ensure detection at the lower end of this range. As the LFA was developed using mAbs targeting single venom toxins rather than whole venoms, the actual concentrations of the detected toxins are lower than the whole venom concentra...
The only commercial Snake Venom Detection Kit (SVDK) is used in Australia and Papua New Guinea [14]. SVDK is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applicable to common envenomous snakes in that region of the World, including Tiger snake, Brown snake, Black snake, Death adder, and ...

We included patients bitten in the appropriate geographical area, with defibrination coagulopathy and positive Venom Detection Kit result for Tiger snake or response to specific antivenom. Of 381 charts reviewed, 23 patients were envenomed by a Tiger snake. The mean age was 36 years, 83% were ...
Proteins constitute almost 95% of snake venom’s dry weight and are produced and released by venom glands in a solubilized form during a snake bite. These proteins are responsible for inducing several pharmacological effects aiming to immobilize and init
