title: Use of high performance liquid chromatography to demonstrate quantitative variation in components of venom from the scorpion Androctonus australis Hector.
abstract: Using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), to resolve less than 1 mg of scorpion venom, quantitative variations in protein components were demonstrated in Androctonus australis Hector venoms obtained either by electric or manual stimulation. The results support polymorphism of scorpion venom components at an individual level.
