Seven edema-producing fractions were isolated from Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus snake venom by CM-Sephadex C-50 chromatography and further purified by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-75 column. They were homogeneous as judged by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels. The mol. wts were estimated to be 26,900 (Fr. IV-2), 21,500 (Fr. X-2), 23,000 (Fr. XII-2), 21,800 (Fr. XIII-2), 24,600 (Fr. XIV-2), 80,000 (Fr. XVIII-1) and 22,500 (Fr. XXII-2). Fraction IV-2 had weak esterase activity, fractions X-2, XII-2, XIII-2 and XIV-2 possessed proteolytic activity toward casein and fibrinogen, while fractions XVIII-1 and XXII-2 possessed phospholipase A2 activity. Fractions with phospholipase A2 activity had greater edema-producing activity than those with protease and/or esterase activity. It is concluded that the edema caused by T. mucrosquamatus venom may be due to phospholipases A2, proteases and esterases.

D003435 Crotalid Venoms Venoms from snakes of the subfamily Crotalinae or pit vipers, found mostly in the Americas. They include the rattlesnake, cottonmouth, fer-de-lance, bushmaster, and American copperhead. Their venoms contain nontoxic proteins, cardio-, hemo-, cyto-, and neurotoxins, and many enzymes, especially phospholipases A. Many of the toxins have been characterized.
