Tityus serrulatus (Ts) venom is composed by a mixture ofcomponents,which the neurotoxins are the main studied.The potassium channel neurotoxins Ts6 and Tsl 5 isolated from Ts venom have been studied by our group and demonstrated to block Kvl.3 at picomolar concentration.The voltage-gated Kvl.3 potassium channel is a novel target for immunomodulation of autoreactive effector T cells that play a major role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.
