Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute and the Evolutionary Venomics Lab at the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have developed a synthetic human antibody that can neutralise a potent neurotoxin produced by the Elapidae family of highly toxic snakes. The team adapted an approach used earlier to screen for antibodies against HIV and COVID-19 to synthesize the new venom-neutralising antibody.
