antivenom production techniques
Antivenom production involves collecting venom from a dangerous animal, like a snake, and injecting small, safe amounts into a host animal such as a horse or sheep. The host's immune system produces antibodies against the venom. After several injections, blood is drawn from the host, and the antibodies are separated and purified to create the antivenom. This antivenom can then be used to treat snakebite victims by neutralizing the venom's deadly effects, providing a crucial medical remedy derived from controlled immune responses.
