  • Methods for producing avian verotoxin antitoxin
    Patent number: 6652857
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods for generating neutralizing antitoxin directed against verotoxins. In preferred embodiments, the antitoxin directed against these toxins is produced in avian species using soluble recombinant verotoxin proteins. This antitoxin is designed so as to be administrable in therapeutic amounts and may be in any form (i.e., as a solid or in aqueous solution). These antitoxins are useful in the treatment of humans and other animals intoxicated with at least one bacterial toxin, as well as for preventive treatment, and diagnostic assays to detect the presence of toxin in a sample.
