Features of CD20 expression in the kidney tissue of experimental rats three hours after administration of Leiurus macroctenus scorpion venom

Abstract

Bites from venomous animals, such as snakes, vipers, and arthropods (particularly scorpions), are a significant public health problem in many countries worldwide. Acute kidney injury is one of the main effects of these venoms and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The study aims to investigate the features of CD20 expression in the kidney tissue of experimental rats three hours after administration of scorpion Leiurus macroctenus venom. The study used 10 white male laboratory rats weighing 200 g (±10 g).
