Snake envenomation and protective natural endogenous proteins: a mini review of the recent developments (1991–1997)
TL;DR: The properties of several factors isolated from the blood serum or plasma of different animals are described with more emphasis placed on the structural differences and similarities among the factors of the snake (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) and mammals (Didelphis marsupials and Herpestes edwardsii).
