Intrageneric cross-reactivity of monospecific rabbit antisera against venoms of the medically most important Bitis spp. and Echis spp. African snakes
Fig 7
Cross-neutralization of toxic activities of Echis spp. venoms.
Cross-neutralization of A) lethal, B) hemorrhagic, and C) coagulant activities of the Echis spp. venoms. Neutralization is expressed as ED50 (lethality and hemorrhage) and ED (coagulant effect), i.e., mg venom neutralized per mL antivenom. In the case of lethality, error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals, while in the case of hemorrhage and coagulation, error bars represent SD (n = 4). * Non-overlapping values with the anti-lethal 95% CI of the homologous serum, or no detectable or poor ability to neutralize hemorrhagic or coagulant activities.
