Immunization against cobra venom using Mucuna pruriens derived serum immunoglobulins was carried out in a mouse model. The neutralizing ability of circulating antibodies was assessed by challenging the immunized mice with a minimum lethal dose of purified venom after 4, 24, 72 and 168 h. The single injection of the antibody preparation produced a high and sustained immune response with high survival rates of treated animals. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Immunization against cobra venom using Mucuna pruriens derived serum immunoglobulins was carried out in a mouse model. The neutralizing ability of circulating antibodies was assessed by challenging the immunized mice with a minimum lethal dose of purified venom after 4, 24, 72 and 168 h. The single injection of the antibody preparation produced a high and sustained immune response with high survival rates of treated animals. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
