An ambient temperature-stable antitoxin of nine co-formulated antibodies for botulism caused by serotypes A, B and E. [PDF]
Safe and effective antitoxins to treat and prevent botulism are needed for biodefense. We have developed recombinant antibody-based therapeutics for botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes A, B, and E.
