Anti-Tityus discrepans F(ab')2 ELISA recognition of T. discrepans toxins was measured with regression analysis and its slope called ELISA recognition value (ERv). Fractions containing toxins affecting mammal macrophages or Naþ-channels have Ervs >19. Toxins affecting potassium channels or insect NaV channels have ERvs
