Triggering of protection mechanism against Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom in the brain.

Severe accidents caused by the "armed" spider Phoneutria nigriventer cause neurotoxic manifestations in victims. In experiments with rats, P. nigriventer venom (PNV) temporarily disrupts the properties of the BBB by affecting both the transcellular and the paracellular route. However, it i...
