Fibrinolytic effects of E. ocellatus and B. arietans venoms and venom proteins
| Venom/ venom protein | Plasma recalcification time (min) | |
|---|---|---|
| Echis ocellatus | Bitis arietans | |
| PPP + PBS + CaCl2 (control) | 04.10 ± 0.17a | 03.10 ± 0.10a |
| PPP + CaCl2 + PLA2 | 10.00 ± 0.00b | 12.23 ± 0.15b |
| PPP + CaCl2 + SVMP | 20.23 ± 0.20c | 17.20 ± 0.20c |
| PPP + CaCl2 + SVSP | 30.30 ± 0.26d | 26.20 ± 0.10d |
| PPP + CaCl2 + Crude venom | 44.10 ± 0.10e | 52.20 ± 0.17e |
Data are mean ± SD from three determinations. Data with different superscripts in a column are significantly different at p < 0.05
PPP Poor Plasma Protein, PLA2 Snake venom Phospholipase A2, SVMP Snake venom metalloproteinase, SVSP Snake venom serine protease
