Effect of Guiera senegalensis Leaf Extract on Some Echis carinatus Venom Enzymes

Enzymatic Analysis of Iranian Echis carinatus Venom Using Zymography

Snakebite is a common problem especially in tropical areas all over the world including Iran. Echis carinatus as one of the most dangerous Iranian snakes is spreading in this country excluding central and northwest provinces. In this study gelatinase and fibrinogenolytic properties as two disintegrating matrix metalloproteinase enzymes were evaluated by a strong clear halo between 56-72 kDa in ...

Cytopathic Effect of Snake (Echis Carinatus) Venom on Human Embryonic Kidney Cells

Proteins from Mucuna pruriens and enzymes from Echis carinatus venom: characterization and cross-reactions.

Mucuna pruriens seeds have been widely used against snakebite in traditional medicine. The antivenin property of a water extract of seeds was assessed in vivo in mice. The serum of mice treated with extract was tested for its immunological properties. Two proteins of Echis carinatus venom with apparent molecular masses of 25 and 16 kDa were detected by Western blot analysis carried out using Ig...
