ANTIGENIC SPECIFICITY OF CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM TYPES C, D, AND E

Abstract

Botulin toxins of the C, D, and E types have some certain relationship; large doses of typical antitoxin sera are capable of neutralizing small amounts of heterogeneous toxin. Active or passive immunization of animals against botulin toxins C, D, or E is accompanied by the development of very low resistance of animals to the toxins of the other group. The strains Cl. botulinum D have a bacterial antigen (precipitinogen), inherent to certain strains of the types C and E.
