Snake venom is a complex mixture of proteins and enzymes produced by venomous snakes. It is a highly specialized secretion injected into their prey through fangs during a bite. Snake venom serves as a potent defense mechanism and aids in immobilizing or killing prey, as well as aiding in the digestion of the prey's tissues.
Anti-Snake Venom Serum, also known as ASV or antivenom, is a specialized immunoglobulins derived from the blood of animals that have been immunized against specific snake venoms.
It contains antibodies that can neutralize the toxic components of snake venom. When administered promptly after a venomous snakebite, the Anti-Snake Venom Serum can prevent or reduce the severity of venom-induced damage and save lives.
Animals like horses or sheep are chosen as hosts for venom immunization. Small, non-lethal doses of snake venom are injected into these animals over a period of time. The animals' immune systems recognize the venom as foreign and start producing antibodies to neutralize it.
Once the animals have developed sufficient antibodies, their blood is drawn under sterile conditions. The collected blood is then processed to separate the serum from the other blood components, like red blood cells.
Anti-Snake Venom Serum, also known as antivenom or ASV, works by neutralizing the toxic components present in snake venom. When a venomous snake bites a human or animal, it injects venom into the bloodstream, which can cause various harmful effects on the body.
Anyone who has been bitten by a venomous snake and is experiencing symptoms of envenomation requires Anti-Snake Venom Serum (ASV) administration. Snakebites can be life-threatening, depending on the species of snake and the amount of venom injected.
