Nanovenoms synthesis for its potential use in antisera production against rattlesnake venom (Crotalus durissus terrificus)

Snake antivenoms (AV) production involves successive inoculations of venom (V) in increasing form together with the addition of adjuvants (ADJ) that improve the immune response of animals destined for immunizations. On the other hand, nanoparticles (NP) are being studied with multiple purposes d...
