About the Cover for Blood 114 (3)
The Australian Common Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) has one of the most toxic venoms in the world, containing neurotoxic and procoagulant components. The latter consists of a factor V and a factor Xa-like enzyme. The factor V component has unique gain-of-function properties not present in mammalian factor V. See the article by Bos et al on page 686. Photo kindly provided by Professor Christopher Pollitt, University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science, Brisbane, Australia. [Table of Contents] |
