Immunological Properties of Scorpion Toxins

Early studies on scorpion venom were motivated by the problems of treating envenomation in various parts of the world (Goyffon et al.,1982; Freire-Maia et al.,1994; Dehesa-Davila et al., 1994). Over the last 30 years, there has been extensive work by our groups and others to elucidate the mechanism of envenomation and to fight against the noxious effects of the scorpion sting.
