摘要
The effect of irradiation of the aqueous solution of L. m. mute venom was evaluated with thermic neutrons from Uranium-235 employing doses of 1.61 to 5.19 Gray The venom was examined for protein content by the Folin Lowry Method modified by Stauffer, for acute toxicity by intraperitoneal route estimation in mice and for immunochemical tests by the antigen-antibody reactions evaluation. Neutronic radiation affects all evaluated parameters in venom (decrease in protein content levels, increase of LD50 values and decrease in the number of precipitating antigen-antibody) as shown by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.
