Objective: To characterize a hemorrhagic protein from Bothrops brazili snake venom and to determine if the polyvalent antibotropic serum is able to neutralize it. Material and Methods: A hemorrhagic protein from Bothrops brazili snake venom was purified through two chromatographical steps: Sephadex G-100 and CM Sephadex C-50, respectively, using 0,05M ammonium acetate buffer pH 7. In the last chromatographical system the protein was eluted after 0,3M sodium chloride was applied; thus, a unique band was achieved by PAGE-SDS. A hemorrhagic action monitored through caseinolytic activity obtained 8,4 folds of purification and the minimum hemorrhagic dose (MHD) was 6,61 ug in albine mice. Results: A structural analysis of associated carbohydrates showed 8,05% of hexoses, 11,62% of hexosamines, and 0,69% of sialic acid; its termostability was detected at 50°C for 10 minutes while total inhibi...
