The biological properties of adult and juvenile inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) snake venoms were examined. The enzymatic activities, intravenous median lethal dose and procoagulant activity of the juvenile venom samples were not significantly different from those of the adult venom samples. Also, the juvenile and adult venoms exhibited similar electrophoretic patterns, indicating that they possessed similar protein composition.
对成年和幼年内陆太攀蛇(Oxyuranus microlepidotus)蛇毒的生物学特性进行了研究。幼年蛇毒样本的酶活性、静脉注射半数致死剂量和促凝血活性与成年蛇毒样本相比无显著差异。此外,幼年和成年蛇毒呈现出相似的电泳图谱,表明它们具有相似的蛋白质组成。
