Abstract
1.1. The venoms of pit vipers (Family: Crotalidae), Trimeresurus from Asia and Bothrops from Central America, were compared by immunodiffusion and isotachophoretic techniques.2.2. Trimeresurus and Bothrops venoms contain some similar antigenic proteins as they show positive precipitin lines by immunodiffusion techniques. Of the Elapidae venoms tested, none reacted with anti-Trimeresurus flavoviridis venom. It is remarkable that the venoms are immunologically related even though the snakes are geographically distant.3.3. Isotachophoretic patterns of these venoms show different mobility profiles. However, they do contain protein components which have the same mobility in isotachophoresis.4.4. Trimeresurus flavoviridis venom from different islands show identical immunological precipitin patterns and very similar isotachophoretic profiles.
