Abstract: A method of the isolation of a Crustacea-specific neuro toxin from the venom of the Latrodectus mactans tredecimguttatus spider by means of ion exchange chromatography on Mono Q and Mono S columns and hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl-Superose column has been developed. LD60 of the toxin has been elucidated.
