1 Why choose topics:
According to WHO estimates, each year Vietnam needs about 1.7 million units of blood for emergencytreatment services (≈ 2% of the population) [40], apart from blood and blood products, plasma products, and
to included serum preparations such as gamma globulin, globulin anti-HBs, anti-T-lymphocyte globulin,antivenom [141],[147],[152] in which antivenom is very important, especially in the treatment of
hemostatic coagulation disorders due to snake venom poisoning (Vipridae).
As a tropical country, with three-quarters of mountain forests and agricultural lands, over 3000 km longcoastline, Vietnam has a very favorable environment for the development of poisonous snakes Mostresidents living and working in the agricultural environment, forests, islands the risk of poisonous snakebites are very high (> 30,000 / year [21]); outside the deaths, costs treatment is expensive: many victimsventilation monthly or tens of liters of blood transfusions and plasma to save lives; records, beginning6/2013 Bach Mai hospital was ≈ 46 liters of blood transfusion and preparations for saving a patient [174]
To reduce mortality, reduce the number of blood and plasma used to treat poisonous snake bites,Ministry of Health was interested in directing the research, production applications snake venom serum
Trang 2antibodies[6],[8] To date, there have been some very successful research, contributing to save the lives ofthousands of patients, significantly reduced blood flow and preparations to use [6],[21]
However, after many years of effort, to date we are still severely lacking in many types of antivenom;almost like we have only two types of land for cobra and viper bamboo [8],[165],[166],[171] Due to thespecificity of snake venom antigens geographically, each country must make antivenom for yourself (WHO)[141],[20],[6] To meet emergency needs, treating poisonous snake bites, so we need to promote research,production xuatantivenom; HTKNR especially for dangerous venomous snakes, common, in that species,leading to nia mention solid waistband, accounting for 35.8% of their poisonous copperhead snakes
Elapidae in Vietnam, the poisonous snakes have extremely strong toxicity, causing very high mortality (>
80% if it is not an emergency timely treatment) [14]
Actual treatment in Vietnam so far show that have common Bungarus, mainly Bungrarus candidus and Bungarus multicinctus These two snake -shaped "piece of black, white songs" are very similar, it is difficult
to distinguish glance Two different species of snake venom toxicity and the clinical manifestations,diagnosis is very easy to confuse, antivenom monospecific not work and there is no VDK to confirm thediagnosis [15] Research antivenom production rates for both multi- poisonous snakes are dangerousaforementioned favorable solution provides for the emergency treatment of patients with snake bite in the
Trang 3country To increase the safety of antivenom, form F(ab')2 is optimal At the same time, the completeproduction process, standardized products will bring many advantages for the emergency treatment ofpatients in both North and South as well as in the country.
2 Goals topics:
(1) Production research antivenom resistance (BC + BM) polyclonal F(ab')2 Vietnam meet standards(Vietnam Pharmacopoeia)from horse plasma
(2) Evaluate the quality in laboratory
3 The Significance of topics and new contributions:
3.1 For the first time in Vietnam and around the world has produced BC & BM antivenom against two common species BC & BM snake , the most dangerous in the Vietnam and on the world.
3.2 The first time was perfect and standardize all stages of the production process BC&BM antivenom, theend result is a product achieve the National Standards (Vietnam Pharmacopoeia IV, 2009 - latest) Product
3.3 Has produced and purified as successful antivenom F(ab') 2 is as preparations advanced, most effectiveproducts in the form of antivenom; remove the Fc of IgG molecules, to the root of the problemimmunological safety of products using the treatment
Trang 43.4 The problem of effective antivenom preparations: has been successfully solved with the synchronoussolution: choosing the right type of snake, quality venom , venom lose virulence but retains antigen; makesure schedules immune adjuvant & antigen dose; follow-up care for horses born best antibody, antibodyplasma hightiter; antibody specific, ensuring sterile blood; F(ab')2 biological activity, purification of F(ab')2has the highest concentration

Table 3:23: Results of national tests for quality of product
Trang 224.1.1 Production of antigens:
- Selection of snakes, their venom: solid selection, their venom is a very important first step of theproduction process 2 species of snake venom intended has made antivenom-cost good quality, representingthe populations of both species in Vietnam After 6 times conducted collectors get enough of the necessaryvenom 2 species north and south BM&BC sting less, difficult to obtain and very dangerous (Table 3.1)
- Identify common types of solid bay in Vietnam: Vietnam has many compartments snakes "black song,
blanks", easily confused with each other (Table 3.2) is B candidus, B multicinctus and Red River snake (B slowinskii), in which is 2 common species, have the most number of natural, necessary for producing
Trang 23antivenom treatment, other less common species.
- Results fabrication BC+BM venom antigen polyclonal, attenuated:
Using 3 g of pure venom of the 2 species, are made 272.8 ml of antigen attenuated Dividing the number ofantigens of different types of volume based on immune dose schedule and is expected to study the horse'sweight Close the vial in each group can build from 0.1 ml to 6 ml, divided into 9 steps to 9 months sensitizerfor horses The number of antigen used to produce enough in research, horses die situation room, study andstorage failures serve antiveom quality control (Table 3.3)
- Quality control antigen: tables 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 showed satisfactory quality of general safety, sterility, pyrogenswhen no sensitizer for experimental animals With the virulent toxin is very strong with sinap nerve - muscle
as venom (BC + BM) , fabricated to induce antigen sensitization if not guaranteed, will cause the animal todie Removes venom toxicity, only retaining antigenicity of toxins are making purposes antigen.Decontamination process with glutheraldehyde, the bacteria have been destroyed in large part, bacteria, fungiwere removed by filtration through a membrane filter at 0.2 micrometers In the fabrication process antigen(venom , venom detoxifying, centrifugal conduct, leaving residue, obtained antigen solution, sterile filtered,extracted in the vial, bottle capping, ), requires no bacteria, eliminate pyrogens have been strictly compliedwith (table 3.5, 3.6)
Trang 244.1.2 Process sensitizer horse, monitoring the immune response:
Method 1 month / time period is to ensure safety for horses after immunity (associated ulcers, fatigue,weakness , ) at the same time is the time required for the immune response occurs (according to WHO,needed from 3-8 weeks) Antigen dose causing increased susceptibility, combined with Freund's adjuvantirritating secondary immune response of the horse 's immune system Freund adjuvant used 1 in 2 categoriesincluding: CFA or IFA This is a suspension emulsified antigen (emulsify) in mineral oil, to enhance theimmune response (immunopotentiator) Many authors have used the combined method and CFA antigens toincrease antibody titres showed a remarkably effective Pratanaphon R et al (1997), was mixed land cobravenom antigens Thailand and with different adjuvants such as CFA alone (50% + 50% antigen CFA ), CFA
at a rate of 25% (75% CFA antigens and 25%), vaccine antigens endotoxin + tetanus (tetanus toxoid) vaccineantigen + endotoxin diphtheria (diphtheria toxoid) with different ratios, good results were obtained, highantibody titres increased strongly in the short time compared with the control group only used as antigensand adjuvants bentonite gel
- Monitoring health immune horse after each inject antigens and adjuvants CFA in the first two horses arehorses that fatigue, anorexia, weakness, defeat, located on-site or inactive; injection site average often 2nd
