Danish scientists created a promising new antivenom effective against 17 of 18 major African snake species, but it hasn't been tested in humans and needs more research.
Danish researchers have developed a new nanobody-based antivenom effective against 17 of 18 major African snake species, including cobras and mambas, using engineered antibody fragments for consistent, scalable production.
Unlike traditional animal-derived antivenoms, it shows improved safety, reduced side effects, and better protection against tissue damage in lab tests.
However, it has not yet been tested in humans, is less effective when given after venom exposure, and only partially neutralizes some species' venom, requiring further research and clinical trials before widespread use.
