Abstract excerpt
One of the main possible origin of the biochemical variations of venoms could be genetic. We studied the venom of members of litters born in a snake farm (12 Crotalus atrox and 21 Naja haje). We first used the electrophoresis in cellulose acetate (AE). Then, variations were confirmed by immunoelectrophoresis (AIE) using an antivenom (IPSER Africa, Pasteur Mérieux Sérums & Vaccines) and immunsera prepared on...
