Abstract
Anti-Tityus discrepans F(ab')2 ELISA recognition of T. discrepans toxins was measured with regression analysis and its slope called ELISA recognition value (ERv). Fractions containing toxins affecting mammal macrophages or Na+-channels have Ervs >19. Toxins affecting potassium channels or insect NaV channels have ERvs <10. Fractions including curarizing or antineoplasic peptides had ERvs <1. Erv increases in proportion to mammalian toxin toxicity rather than to toxin molecular mass.
