Vth Pan American Symposium on Animal, Plant and Microbial Toxins.
Abstract
This report covers recent work in the areas of snake, plant, microbial and arthro- pod toxins. Presentations on snake toxins include work done on neurotoxins such as B-bungarotoxin and k-neurotoxins, phospholipase A2 myotoxins, anti-muscarinic toxins, metalloproteinases, fibrinolytic enzymes, cardiotoxins, and antihemorrhagic factors. Presentations on plant and microbial toxins include work done on ricin, Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin, cone snail peptides, sea anemone toxins, proteinase inhibitors and maitotoxin. Presentations on arthropod toxins included work on scorpion neurotoxins, K+ channel-blocking peptides, lice and wasp proteins, stinging insect venom allergens and Australian funnel-web spider toxins. Techniques and methods employed in these projects ranged from classical biochemistry, pharmacology and pathology to state-of-the-art molecular biology including cloning, expression and mutation studies.
