Abstract

N.-H. Tan, G. Ponnudurai and P.J. Mirtschin. A comparative study of the biological properties of venoms from juvenile and adult inland taipan ( Oxyuranus microlepidotus) snake venoms. Toxicon 31, 363–367, 1993.—The biological properties of adult and juvenile inland taipan ( Oxyuranus microlepidotus) snake venoms were examined. The enzymatic activities, intravenous median lethal dose and procoagulant activity of the juvenile venom samples were not significantly different from those of the adult venom samples. Also, the juvenile and adult venoms exhibited similar electrophoretic patterns, indicating that they possessed similar protein composition.
