Artigo IPEN-doc 11620 Immune response against irradiated with sup(60)Co gamma-rays2006 - BAPTISTA, J.A.; SPENCER, P.J.; OLIVEIRA, J.E.; CESARE, M.S.; NASCIMENTO, N.Artigo IPEN-doc 11621 Study of gamma-radiation effects on crotamine and crotoxin2006 - CASARE, M.S.; SPENCER, P.; CAMPOS, L.A.; NASCIMENTO, N.Crotoxin is a 23 kDa neurotoxin from Crotalus durissus terrificus and is composed of a 9 kDa acidic subunit (crotapotin) and a 14 kDa basic subunit (phospholipase A2). Crotamine is 4882 Da, basic polypeptide with myotoxic activity. These toxins, when submitted to gamma-rays, in aqueous solution, present structural modifications, preserving their immunogenic properties. In the present work, we investigated some structural modifications on both crotoxin and crotamine after gamma-radiation using various doses, in the presence or not of "scavenger" substances. Our results indicate that irradiation leads to progressive changes in the structure of the toxin, which could explain the lower toxicity observed.Artigo IPEN-doc 14835 Structure alteration and immunological properties of sup(60)Co-gamma-rays irradiated bothropstoxin-I2010 - BAPTISTA, J.A.; VIEIRA, D.P.; GALISTEO JUNIOR, A.J.; HIGA, O.Z.; CASARE, M.; YONAMINE, C.M.; CAPRONI, P.; CAMPOS, L.A.; ANDRADE JUNIOR, H.F. de; SPENCER, P.J.; NASCIMENTO, N.
