An in vitro α-neurotoxin-nAChR binding assay correlates with lethality and in vivo neutralization of a large number of elapid neurotoxic snake venoms from four continents.

When the 20 neurotoxic venoms were divided into the ‘Naja spp .’ and ‘non- Naja spp ’ groups, the correlation between the in vivo and in vitro antiserum potency against the ‘Naja spp .’ group was 0.950 ( p < 0.001) which is statistically highly significant ( Fig 4B ).
