Cytotoxic and inflammatory potential of a phospholipase A2 from Bothrops jararaca snake venom

Conclusions: BJ-PLA2-I was characterized as an acidic Asp49 PLA2 that induces acute local inflammation and low cytotoxicity. These results should contribute to elucidate the action mechanisms of snake venom PLA2s.
