Venom composition of Trimeresurus albolabris, T. insularis, T. puniceus and T. purpureomaculatus from Indonesia

Abstract

Overall, the results highlighted venom compositional variation of four <i>Trimeresurus</i> spp. from Indonesia. The venoms appear to be highly similar, comprising at least four protein families that correlate with venom's toxin properties and function. This study adds more information on venom variability among <i>Trimeresurus</i> species within the close geographic origin and may contribute to the development of optimum heterologous antivenom.
