[Avidity of sera-neutralizing snake venom].
Avidity of antivenom sera used for the treatment of snake bites was studied. Sera against the venom of Vipera libetina obtained from producers immunized with crude venoms were more avid than analogous sera obtained to anavenoms. In studying the avidity of polyvalent serum neutralizing the Vipera libetina, echis and cobra venoms showed the serum obtained in immunization with the mixture of crude venoms to be highly avid to all the venoms composing the antigen; besides, it bound the venoms of Vipera libetina and echis more rapidly and more stably than the corresponding monovalent sera.
