Venomics and Cellular Toxicity of Thai Pit Vipers (Trimeresurus macrops and T. hageni).

The two venomous pit vipers, and , are distributed throughout Thailand, although their abundance varies among different areas. No species-specific antivenom is available for their bite victims, and the only recorded treatment method is a horse antivenom raised against crude venom. To facilitate assessment of the cross-reactivity of heterologous antivenoms, protein profiles of and venoms were explored using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics.
