Isotype responses of mice to tetanus-toxoid preparations.
The development of anti-tetanus antibodies in CBA/Ca and Balb/c mice immunised with two tetanus-toxoid preparations has been investigated by sensitive enzyme-linked immunoassays. These studies revealed the presence in both strains of mice of naturally occurring antibodies to tetanus toxoid. These were of the IgM, IgA and, to a lesser extent, the IgG3 isotypes. Differences in the responses of mi...
متن کاملSevere tetanus--in spite of tetanus toxoid.
A 66-year-old man sustained an injury to his right foot while gardening. Despite receiving tetanus toxoid one hour later and adequate wound toilet, he developed severe tetanus complicated with autonomic dysfunction six days later. He died 20 days after admission. This case shows that tetanus toxoid alone may not be sufficient to prevent tetanus in wounded patients. Careful consideration must be...
متن کاملTetanus toxoid immunization to reduce mortality from neonatal tetanus
BACKGROUND Neonatal tetanus remains an important and preventable cause of neonatal mortality globally. Large reductions in neonatal tetanus deaths have been reported following major increases in the coverage of tetanus toxoid immunization, yet the level of evidence for the mortality effect of tetanus toxoid immunization is surprisingly weak with only two trials considered in a Cochrane review. ...
متن کاملImmunization with Tetanus Toxoid
Although immunization with tetanus toxoid cannot be expected to produce an adequate permanent immunity, a number of investigators have confirmed and extended the observation of Ramon3 to the effect that an organism, once immunized, will respond to further injections of toxoid with an accelerated and increased antitoxin production. That this response to the "injection de rappel" does occur has b...
متن کاملImmunological studies on tetanus toxoid
T toxoid is one of the most successful vaccines used in immunization programme almost all over the world. Neonatal tetanus can be prevented by immunizing women of childbearing age with tetanus toxoid, either during pregnancy or outside of pregnancy. Tetanus vaccine is used either in mono or in combination with other antigens i.e. Diphtheria, Pertussis (whole cell or acellular), Hepatitis B, Hae...
