Generation and characterization of a recombinant chimeric protein (rCpLi) consisting of B-cell epitopes of a dermonecrotic protein from Loxosceles intermedia spider venom

Highlights • A protein consisting of epitopes of a spider venom protein was engineered. • The chimeric protein generated did not show toxic activities. • Antibodies anti-chimeric protein recognized three different antigenic regions. • Antibodies anti-chimeric protein showed neutralizing potential. •...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • A protein consisting of epitopes of a spider venom protein was engineered. • The chimeric protein generated did not show toxic activities. • Antibodies anti-chimeric protein recognized three different antigenic regions. • Antibodies anti-chimeric protein showed neutralizing potential. • This protein is a candidate for therapeutic serum development.
