Fig. 1. Comparison of IV profiles by HPLC. (AC) UV chromatograms of the
three types of C. striatus IV patterns observed, demonstrating the
reproducibility of the profile within individuals for samples taken at
different times in captivity. For the profiles shown, sampling intervals were
6 (A), 3 (B) and 4 months (C). Peptides are labeled by protonated monoisotopic
mass or, where appropriate, known C. striatus toxins as determined by
off-line MALDI-MS.
