Practical progress towards the development of recombinant antivenoms for snakebite envenoming Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions globally each year. In recent years, research into the potential production of recombinant antivenoms, formulated using mi...

Our review article on progress towards #recombinant #antivenoms for #snakebite is now published at www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
We cover snakebite, methods for #mAb discovery, do a deep dive on mAbs for neurotoxins, and discuss what is needed next to get this from concept to clinic.

Comment on: What is new in the treatment of snakebite envenoming? Opportunities and challenges Improving treatment for the millions of patients that fall victim to snakebite envenoming each year remains a pressing issue, and it was with great pleasur
