STUDIES ON DISTRIBUTION OF ELAPINE VENOMS IN ANIMAL BODIES AFTER ENVENOMATION,

Abstract

The distribution of the venom of Bungarus multicinctus, its neurotoxins (alpha-and beta Bungarotoxin) and the venom of Naja naja atra in the animal bodies after envenomation was studied. No detectable amount of the unlabelled Bungarus-venom was found in the C. S. F. of rabbits injected intravenously with 1 mg/kg (40 MLD) of the venom. After I. V. injection of 10 mg/kg, only a tiny amount of the venom (up to 0.023 = 0.007 micrograms/ml) was detected in the C. S. F., the highest C. S. F./plasma ratio being 1/750 at 2 hr. after the injection.
