Results: Acanthophis spp. and Naja spp. venoms produced concentration-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation in both cell lines. Naja spp. venoms were significantly more cytotoxic than the most potent Acanthophis venom (i.e. A. antarcticus) in both cell lines. Naja spp. venoms also displayed higher sensitivity in L6 cells. SAIMR antivenom significantly inhibited the cytotoxic actions of all Naja spp. venoms in both A7r5 and L6 cells. However, death adder antivenom (CSL Ltd) was unable to negate the cytotoxic effects of Acanthophis spp. venoms. Discussion: Concentrations of the predominantly cytotoxic Naja spp. venoms used were approximately three times less than the predominantly neurotoxic Acanthophis spp. venoms. SAIMR antivenom was partially effective in neutralising the effects of Naja spp. venoms. Death adder antivenom(CSL Ltd) was not effective in negating the cytotoxic effects of venom from Acanthophis spp. These results indicate that the cell-based assay is suited to the examination of cytotoxic snake venoms and may be used in conjunction with organ bath experiments to pharmacologically characterise snake venoms. Furthermore, the results suggest that the use of a skeletalmuscle cell line is likely to bemore clinically relevant for the examination of cytotoxic snake venoms.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:24 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10648 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:40 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5331 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:55 AEDT ]]>
