Cell adhesion molecules involved in the leukocyte recruitment induced by venom of the snake Bothrops jararaca by Stella R. Zamuner, Catarina F. P. Teixeira

“…This is the first in vivo evidence that snake venom is able to up-regulate the expression of adhesion molecules by both leukocytes and endothelial cells. This venom effect may be indirect, probably through the release of the inflammatory mediators evidenced in the present study.…”
