Abstract
1. Progressive block of neuromuscular transmission in frog sartorius and gastrocnemius preparations by haemagglutinin-free crystalline Type A botulinum toxin (BTX) was investigated by in vitro application and by injection of the toxin into living animals.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
