Anomalous enhancement of botulinum toxin type A neurotoxicity in the presence of antitoxin

open access: closedToxicon, 2001
The neutralization of botulinum toxin serotype A with polyclonal equine antitoxin was studied in isolated mouse hemidiaphragms and compared to the same action in live mice. The biological activity of the toxin in the isolated muscle could be markedly reduced with excess antitoxin, estimated as 3:1 molar ratios of IgG Ab:toxin or better.

Development of an Avian Antitoxin to Type A Botulinum Neurotoxin

open access: closed, 1993
Most commercially available antitoxins and antivenoms are raised in horses and purified by bulk fractionation techniques. These preparations frequently elicit deleterious side effects that compromise their efficacy and the treatment of intoxication or envenomation.

Antitoxin therapy for botulinum intoxication

Reviews in Medical Microbiology, 2001
Botulinum toxin is the most toxic substance known to mankind. It is involved in infant botulism, classical food-borne botulism, wound botulism, and is a threat in biological warfare or bioterrorism.

A review of WHO International Standards for botulinum antitoxins

Biologicals, 2006
Clostridium botulinum produces the most potent known toxins, with seven distinct serotypes currently defined (A-G). These toxins can cause a life threatening systemic toxicity whether through natural causes such as food poisoning, infant botulism, wound botulism, or through use as bio-terror agents (e.g. inhalational botulism). It was realised early on

Infant botulism in Australia: availability of human botulinum antitoxin for treatment

Medical Journal of Australia, 2010
We report the first Australian case of treatment of infant botulism with a human botulinum antitoxin developed in the United States by the California Department of Public Health. Our patient's clinical improvement was rapid, and although the product is expensive, cost-analysis supports the economical viability of its use.

Development and evaluation of candidate vaccine and antitoxin against botulinum neurotoxin serotype F

Clinical Immunology, 2010
To produce a vaccine suitable for human use, a recombinant non His-tagged isoform of the Hc domain of botulinum neurotoxin serotype F (rFHc) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by sequential chromatography. The rFHc was evaluated as a subunit vaccine candidate in mouse model of botulism.

An in vitro cell-based potency assay for pharmaceutical type A botulinum antitoxins

Vaccine, 2017
Botulism therapy relies on passive immunization with antitoxin. The mouse neutralization test is the only pharmacopeia assay to measure the potency of antitoxin preparations. Herein, we present an in vitro cell-based assay for the measurement of pharmaceutical type A antitoxin potency. Accuracy, reproducibility and compatibility with the mouse bioassay
