Effect of Chemical Agents on Venom of Bungaruscaeruleus/ Indian Common Krait
Bungaruscaeruleus, Formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, Iodine, hydrogen oeroxide
Many workers have worked on venom of Naja, Russel’s viper, Agkistrodom, Crotalus and Echis from time to time. But the venom of common krait has not been studied at large. In the present study common krait venom has been treated with various physical and chemical agents so as to see their effect on the toxicity and immunogenicity of the venom and to see whether the toxins present in the krait venom are converted into toxoids or the venom component are simply denatured. Venom was found to be denatured by treatment with glutaraldehyde. Action of Iodine is less chaotic and still retained immunogenic components. Formaldehyde showed lesser action and fair amount of immunogenicity has been retained by venom treated with formaldehyde. The action of H2O2 has been best so far as far as the immunogenicity of the treated venom is concerned.
