[A preliminary study on the identification of crude snake drugs by molecular genetic markers]
Abstract:
DNA was amplified from 11 samples of crude snake drugs by 2 random primers. "Wushaoshe" (Zaocys dhumnades) and its substitutes, Elaphe taeniurus, E. rufodorsata, E. carinata and Sinonatrix annularis, and "Jinqian Baihyashe" (Bungarus multicinctus) and its adulterants, Dinodon rufozonatum and Sinonatrix annularis, can be distinguished by electrophoresis pattern of the amplified products. The results showed that the molecular genetic marker technique can be used as a new method for the identification of crude snake drugs.
