Unveiling the functional epitopes of cobra venom cytotoxin by immunoinformatics and epitope-omic analyses
Abstract Approximate 70% of cobra venom is composed of cytotoxin (CTX), which is responsible for the dermonecrotic symptoms of cobra envenomation. However, CTX is generally low in immunogenicity, and the antivenom is ineffective in attenuating its in vivo toxicity. Furthermore, little is known about...
