FIXATION OF TETANUS TOXIN BY SUBCELLULAR FRACTIONS OF BRAIN

Abstract

Assays of the capacity of subcellular fractions of guinea pig brain to fix tetanus toxin showed that the toxin was bound more by fractions with a high content of synaptosomes (and nearly as well by a myelin fraction) than by relatively pure mitochondrial or microsomal fractions.
