Tetanus Toxoid in Prophylaxis against Tetanus

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1933
Ramon1 proposed the use of tetanus toxoid (anatoxin) for immunization against tetanus. He prepared the toxoid by adding from 3 to 4 cc. of formaldehyde to a liter of tetanus toxin, and then placing the mixture in an incubator at 37 C. for four weeks. In this manner he detoxified toxin that would kill a 300 Gm. guinea-pig in a dose of 0.0001 cc, so that
