What Role do Antibodies Play in Antitoxin Therapies?
Antitoxin therapies involve the use of antibodies to counteract the effects of toxins. These therapies are especially important in cases of exposure to potent toxins such as those found in snake venom or bacterial infections like diphtheria and tetanus. Antibodies used in these therapies can be derived from the serum of immunized animals or produced synthetically through recombinant DNA technology.
