Histological and Ultrastructural Alterations in the Renal Cortex of Rats Induced by the Egyptian Cobra (naja Haje) Crude Venom
In the present study, the histopathological and Ultrastructural changes occurring in the renal cortical cells of rats following intramuscular injection of 1⁄8 LD50 (0.0625 mg/kg body weight) of cobra (Naja haje) crude venom were investigated with the light and transmission electron microscopes. Tissues were obtained for investigation at 4 h, 8 h and 12 h time intervals following injection of th...
متن کاملThe Development of the Skull of the Egyptian Cobra Naja h. haje (Squamata: Serpentes: Elapidae)
BACKGROUND The study of craniofacial development is important in understanding the ontogenetic processes behind morphological diversity. A complete morphological description of the embryonic skull development of the Egyptian cobra, Naja h. haje, is lacking and there has been little comparative discussion of skull development either among elapid snakes or between them and other snakes. METHODO...
متن کاملImmunological Properties of Anti Naja haje arabica (The Arabian Cobra) Snake Venom Antibodies Prepared in Chicken
Naja haje arabica (Arabian cobra) is the major cause of snake-bite mortality in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The treatments of the snake bite envenomation occur by anti-snake venom produced in horses previously immunized with a mixture of venom. Therefore, one of the main objectives of the current study is to produce anti Naja haje arabica immunoglobulin in high titer from the yolk of chickens by i...
متن کاملSnake alpha-neurotoxin binding site on the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Is conserved.
Evolutionary success requires that animal venoms are targeted against phylogenetically conserved molecular structures of fundamental physiological processes. Species producing venoms must be resistant to their action. Venoms of Elapidae snakes (e.g., cobras, kraits) contain alpha-neurotoxins, represented by alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX) targeted against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nA...
متن کاملA Neurotoxin, Toxin a, from Egyptian Cobra (hjcz haje haje) Venom
A neurotoxin, designated toxin LY, has been isolated from the venom of the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje haje) by gradient chromatography on Amberlite CG-50, and has been further purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. Homogeneity was verified by free boundary electrophoresis, acrylamide gel electrophoresis, sedimentation velocity, amino acid analysis, and end group analysis. Toxin LY has a se...
