| In Berlin, Koch's assistants had discovered the principle of passive immunity and antitoxins. |
|
| Some antibodies are antitoxins, which directly neutralize any toxins secreted by the antigens. |
|
| Human science employs somewhat similar procedures to produce what are called antitoxins, protein antibodies, to certain microorganisms. |
|
| Antivenoms and antitoxins can also be administered in this fashion. |
|
| For example, antitoxins, like tetanus antitoxin, are made by injecting horses with a small amount of the toxin so that the animal produces the antibodies. |
|
| Other drugs included antitoxins, a few biological vaccines, and a few synthetic drugs. |
|
| An added benefit is that unlike an antibiotic, the antitoxins needn't kill the bacilli. |
|
| As director of this laboratory, Smith undertook many practical and theoretical studies on the production of tetanus and diphtheria antitoxins. |
|
| Medical specialists can treat anthrax infection using antibiotics and antitoxins. |
|
| Neutralization depends mainly on having all the specific antitoxins against a, p, e and iota toxins. |
|
| Under current guidelines, CDC recommends the use of anthrax antitoxins with antibiotics in cases where there is a high level of clinical suspicion for systemic anthrax. |
|
| Antitoxins usually consist of antibodies made by injecting a toxin into animals and allowing their immune system to respond. |
