Figure 5From: Micrurus snake venoms activate human complement system and generate anaphylatoxinsProteolytic action of the Micrurus spp venoms on human purified C1-INH. [A] Samples of purified component C1-INH (1 μg) were incubated with 2 μg of Micrurus spp venoms or PBS for 30 min at 37°C. Inhibition assays were performed 10 mM of 1,10 phenanthroline [B] or PMSF [C] in the mixtures. Cleavage of C1-INH was visualized by western blot using anti-C1-INH serum.Back to article page
