V. aspis and V. berus venoms display phospholipase A2 activity in vitro. (A) SDS-Page analysis showing the composition of V. aspis and V. berus venoms (1 µg per lane). Both venoms display a band around 14 kDa, typical of the phospholipase component. β-BTx, a neurotoxic phospholipase purified from Bungarus multicinctus (1 µg) is used as a reference. (B) PLA2 activities of V. aspis (10 ng, red triangles) and V. berus (10 ng, green triangles) venoms with respect to purified β-BTx (10 ng, blue circles). The activity of a purified PLA2 from Bee (10 ng, orange squares) is also shown as internal control of the assay. Traces are representative of a typical experiment done three times.
