Some characteristics of the venom of Renar's viper (Vipera renardi) from the Volgograd region

In article half-lethal doses LD 50 and enzymes activity of Renar vipers Vipera renardi venom from Kamyshinsky area of the Volgograd region are resulted. For domestic crickets Acheta domesticus LD 50 of a males venom is measured as 24,2±2,01 mkg/g, females - 23,0±3,32 mkg/g, neonatal vipers - 12,1±1,35 mkg/g. For yellow and colorless venom samples LD 50 have compounded 27,2±1,94 mkg/g and 19,5±3,01 mkg/g accordingly. Protease activity are defined in venom average: 75,2±3,29 mkg thyrosine/mg protein min (males), 80,5±4,46 mkg thyrosine/mg protein min (female) and 109,3±5,75 mkg thyrosine/mg protein min (neonates).
