Desarrollo de las universidades públicas de Latinoamérica: una visión alternativa al modelo economicista de rentabilidad
Development of public universities in latin america: an alternative perspective to the economicist model of profitability
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011)
Los modelos ideológico-económicos preponderantes en Latinoamérica en las últimas décadas han impuesto un concepto estrecho de rentabilidad económica en muchas áreas de la sociedad, incluyendo aquellas en las que se ...
Myotoxin II from Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) venom is a lysine-49 phospholipase A2
(1991)
A basic, dimeric myotoxic protein, myotoxin II, purified from Bothrops asper venom has a similar molecular weight and is immunologically cross-reactive with antibodies raised to previously isolated B. asper phospholipases ...
Degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of venom from the snake Bothrops asper: a histochemical and immunocytochemical study.
(1991)
The degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of Bothrops asper venom were studied by histological, lectin histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. According to our observations, ...
Neutralization of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus venom by a monovalent antivenom
(1991)
The neutralizing ability of a monovalent anti-Micrurus nigrocinctus (coral snake) antivenom produced in Costa Rica was tested against the lethal, myotoxic and phospholipase A2 activities of homologous venom. In addition, ...
Quantitation by enzyme-immunoassay of antibodies against Bothrops myotoxins in four commercially-available antivenoms
(1991)
An enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) for the quantitation of antibodies against myotoxins present in the venoms of Bothrops asper (Costa Rica), B. atrox (Colombia) and B. moojeni (Brazil), was developed. This EIA was utilized for ...
Biochemical and pharmacological similarities between the venoms of newborn Crotalus durissus durissus and adult Crotalus durissus terrificus rattlesnakes
(1991)
A comparative study was performed with the venoms of newborn Crotalus durissus durissus, adult Crotalus durissus terrificus and adult Crotalus durissus durissus snakes. Venom of newborn specimens of C.d. durissus is very ...
Snake Venomics of the Central American Rattlesnake Crotalus simus and the South American Crotalus durissus Complex Points to Neurotoxicity as an Adaptive Paedomorphic Trend along Crotalus Dispersal in South America
(2010)
We report a comparative venomic and antivenomic characterization of the venoms of newborn and adult specimens of the Central American rattlesnake, Crotalus simus, and of the subspecies cumanensis, durissus, ruruima, and ...
Tissue pathology induced by snake venoms: How to understand a complex pattern of alterations from a systems biology perspective?
(2010-01)
The study of snake venom-induced local tissue pathology has been predominantly based on experimental designs and concepts that view tissue alterations from a dichotomous, homogeneous and reductionist perspective. Experimental ...
Systemic and local myotoxicity induced by snake venom group II phospholipases A2: Comparison between crotoxin, crotoxin B and a Lys49 PLA2 homologue
(2008-01)
The patterns of myotoxicity induced in mice by crotoxin, crotoxin B and a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2) homologue were compared. Lys49 PLA2-induced local myotoxicity is reflected by creatine kinase (CK) loss in injected ...
