  • Title: Enzymatic and hemolytic properties of brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) toxin and extracts of venom apparatus, cephalothorax and abdomen.
    Author: Rekow MA, Civello DJ, Geren CR.
    Journal: Toxicon; 1983; 21(3):441-4. PubMed ID: 6353666.
    Abstract:
    Loxosceles reclusa venom apparatus extract, toxin, cephalothorax and abdomen extracts were tested for six activities. Protease, lipase, nonspecific hydrolase and direct hemolytic activities were found primarily in abdomen extracts while sphingomyelinase activity appeared predominantly in the toxin. Appreciable complement-mediated hemolysis was not observed.
