Abstract

Indirect ELISA shows that the antibodies to Calloselasma rhodostoma venom hemorrhagin (CR-HMG), thrombin-like enzyme (CR-TLE) and L-amino acid oxidase (CR-LAAO) exhibited strong to moderate cross-reactions with most crotalid and viperid venoms, but only anti-CR-LAAO cross-reacted with the elapid venoms. However, the indirect ELISA failed to detect some antigenic similarities demonstrable by cross-neutralization study. The double-sandwich ELISA for the three anti-C. rhodostoma venom components exhibited a much lower level of cross-reactions than the indirect ELISA.
