TWO HEMORRHAGIC PRINCIPLES DERIVED FROM HABU SNAKE VENOM AND THEIR DIFFERENCE IN ZONE ELECTROPHORETICAL MOBILITY

Abstract

In the separate paper (Ohsaka et al., 1961) it was reported that zone electrophoresis provided evidence for the presence in Habu venom of at least two hemorrhagic principles, designated as HR1 and HR2, both of which were associated with proteolytic activity on casein. The present experiment is directed to confirm the difference between HR1 and HR2 in the zone electrophoretical mobility and to examine further the possible correlation between hemorrhagic and proteolytic activities by repeat electrophoresis.
