Venoms from elapids demonstrate anticoagulant activity on bovine plasma. Crude venom activity was measured as the mean area under the curve (AUC) of each venom concentration in the relevant clotting period (24–71 min), standardised by the mean AUC of the negative control in the same period. Lines were generated using a linear model and error bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM) of 3–7 replicates (wells containing excess bubbles caused reading errors and had to be removed from analysis).
