Detection and distribution of scorpion (Heterometrus bengalensis) venom in rabbit tissues by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
ELISA was carried out to detect distribution of scorpion venom in experimental animal tissues. The venom content of different tissues was in the order, liver greater than kidney greater than spleen greater than lung greater than heart greater than diaphragm greater than brain. Tissue distribution of venom antigen in the envenomental subject by ELISA will provide a better approach for serotherapy.
