TOXIN-ANTITOXIN IMMUNIZATION AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
The development of antitoxin in the bodies of animals injected with diphtheria toxin is one of the best established of facts. Since von Behring and Roux announced the results of their investigations, large numbers of horses have been injected with toxin ...

Development of a diphtheria toxin based antiporcine CD3 recombinant immunotoxin.
Anti-CD3 immunotoxins, which induce profound but transient T-cell depletion in vivo by inhibiting eukaryotic protein synthesis in CD3+ cells, are effective reagents in large animal models of transplantation tolerance and autoimmune disease therapy.
