Active Immunization Of Rabbit With Gamma Irradiated Cobra (Naja haje) Venom Toxoid

Immunological 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...

CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ANTICOAGULANT AGENT IN THE VENOM OF IRANIAN COBRA (NAJA NAJA OXIANA).

Snake venoms contain a rich variety of factors which affect blood coagulation. There have been few reports on the anticoagulant activity of the venom of different cobras, but no such observations have been made on the Iranian cobra, although a procoagulant factor has been described. In this study an anticoagulant factor has been purified from the venom of Naja naja oxiana using gel filtrat...

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...

A 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...
