CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM TYPE B TOXOIDS

Abstract
Fluid and alum-precipitated C. botulinum Type B toxoids were prepared by methods very similar to those used in the production of Type A toxoid, as described in a preceding paper. These Type B toxoids had little protective effect in mice but induced a moderately high degree of immunity in guinea-pigs as shown by their resistance to multiple lethal doses of Type B toxin and the development of Type B antitoxin. A relationship was observed between the Type B antitoxic titre and resistance to Type B toxin.
