Podcast: Diagnosing krait snake venom
Anjali Anand from Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), Faridabad explains how researchers from THSTI, AIIMS and IIT Indore found the aptamer originally developed against alpha toxin of Bungarus multicinctus krait snake found in China and Taiwan can be used for reliable detection of B. caeruleus krait species found in the Indian subcontinent. The researchers have developed inhouse … Continue reading Podcast: Diagnosing krait snake venom
Indian researchers take first step to diagnose krait snake venom
Researchers from THSTI, AIIMS and IIT Indore have found that the aptamer originally developed against alpha toxin of Bungarus multicinctus krait snake found in China and Taiwan can be used for reliable detection of B. caeruleus krait species found in the Indian subcontinent. The truncated aptamer shows better affinity, sensitivity and binding to the target than … Continue reading Indian researchers take first step to diagnose krait snake venom
