Antivenomics and venom phenotyping: A marriage of convenience to address the performance and range of clinical use of antivenoms.

Abstract excerpt

Toxins from the same protein family present in venoms from snakes belonging to different genera often share antigenic determinants. A practical consequence of this circumstance is that it might be possible to formulate on an immunologically sound basis a mixture of venoms for generating antivenoms against a wide range of species. A deep insight into the inter- and intraspecific variation of the antigenic...
