American scientists from Centivax and National Health Institutes have created a wide range of operations that could neutralize the poisons of the world’s most dangerous snakes. The study was published scientifically magazine Cell.
The key to the opening was the American Tim Frida, who deliberately exposed itself to 16 types of deadly snakes for 18 years. The body developed special antibodies that neutralize the neurotoxins of different species.
Scientists identified two most effective antibodies (LNX-D09 and SNX-B03) and completed them with a small ferrous-essential drug molecule initially developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
In order to create a antidote, the team first created a test panel with 19 snakes of the first and second category in the classification of the World Health Organization from the ASPID family;
Mouse tests showed that the product provides full protection from 13 of 19 types of aspid snakes (including Black Mambe and Royal Cobra), and also partially neutralizes the remaining six types.
The next stage is the test of drugs in dogs in Australia, where thousands of bite cases are fixed every year. In parallel, work on the antidote against Viper continues.
Previously, scientists Created The antidote of the poison of one of the most dangerous spiders in the world.
