1. Characterization of the actions of Crotalus durissus terrificus venon on neutrophils functions / Caracterização das ações do veneno de Crotalus durissus terrificus sobre funções de neutrófilos
Previous studies showed that Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom (CdtV) has long-lasting anti-inflammatory properties and inhibits the spreading and the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. Crotoxin (CTX), the main component of CdtV, is responsible for these effects. In addition, CdtV inhibits, in vitro and in vivo, the phagocytic activity of

2. Caracterização dos efeitos inflamatorios induzidos pelo veneno bruto e pela LmTX-I de Lachesis muta muta (Surucucu) em ratos / Characterization of inflamatory effects induced by Lachesis muta muta (Surucucu) and LmTX-I in rats
The ability of crude venom and a basic phospholipase A2 (LmTX-I) from Lachesis muta muta venom to increase the microvascular permeability in the rat paw and skin has been investigated. Crude venom or LmTX-I were injected subplantarly or intradermically, after which oedema was measured at selected times thereafter. Paw volume was measured using a hydropletism

3. Efeito da peçonha de Bothrops moojeni sobre formas promastigotas de Leishmania spp
In order to develop alternative tools to subdue infectious diseases, several substances have been tested toward treatment of parasitoses, such as Leishmaniasis. For this purpose, snake venoms have been used as future drugs that disrupt the viability of protozoan. In this report, we evaluated the effect of Bothrops moojeni venom and its fractions on viability

4. Análise transcriptômica das glândulas de veneno de Micrurus corallinus (cobra-coral) e identificação de candidatos antigênicos para um anti-soro alternativo / Transcriptonic Analysis of Micrurus corallinus (coral snake) venon glands and identification of antigenic candidates to an alternative anti-servm
A partir de uma biblioteca de cDNA de glândulas de veneno de Micrurus corallinus (cobra-coral), uma serpente da Família Elapidae bastante representada no Brasil e muito comum em áreas florestais tropicais, foram gerados 1.438 Expressed Sequences Tags (ESTs), agrupados em 611 clusters. O banco representa os genes mais expressos na glândula de veneno de M.

5. Estrutura tridimensional da bothropasina, uma metaloprotease/desintegrina do veneno de bothrops jararaca / The three-dimensional structure of bothropasin, the main hemorrhagic factor from bothrops jararaca venon
A bothropasina é uma proteína hemorrágica de 48 kDa, pertencente à classe P-III das metaloproteases, isolada a partir do veneno bruto da serpente brasileira Bothrops jararaca, e que possui os domínios adesivos desintegrina (D) e rico em cisteína (C). Neste trabalho, nós apresentamos a estrutura cristalográfica da bothropasina complexada ao inibidor P

6. Anatomical, morphological, histochemical and ultra structural study of Duvernoy´s gland of six species of opisthoglyphous colubrids (Serpentes - Colubridae - Xenodontinae) / Estudo anatômico, morfológico, histoquímico e ultra-estrutural da glândula de Duvernoy de seis espécies de colubrídeos opistóglifos (Serpentes - Colubridae - Xenodontinae)
The colubrids have often been responsible for severe accidents, sometimes fatal for humans, all over the world. In the Hospital Vital Brazil of the Institute Butantan, in São Paulo, 40% of the snakebite registered is caused by serpents that are considered no poisonous. Among these, 97.3% belong to Colubridae family with 54.5% presenting aglyphous dentition
