Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against gamma-type phospholipase A2 inhibitors and immunodetection of these proteins in snake blood
Abstract Background: The gamma-type phospholipase A2 inhibitor (ΡLIγ) is a natural protein commonly found in snake serum, which can neutralize pathophysiological effects of snake venom phospholipases A2. Therefore, this protein is a potential candidate to the development of a novel antivenom. To the best of our knowledge, there is no antibody currently available for PLIγ identification and characterization. Methods: Bioinformatics prediction of epitope using DNAStar software was performed based on the sequence of Sinonatrix annularis PLIγ (SaPLIγ). The best epitope 151CPVLRLSNRTHEANRNDL...
