Potency Testing of Venoms and Antivenoms in Embryonated Eggs: An Ethical Alternative to Animal Testing
Venoms are complex mixtures of biologically active molecules that impact multiple physiological systems.Manufacture of antivenoms (AVs) therefore requires potency testing using in vivo models to ensure AV efficacy.As part of ongoing research to replace small animals as the standard model for AV potency testing, we developed an alternate in vivo met
