  • Toxin Assay
    Patent number: 6337386
    Abstract: A toxin assay that uses a substrate for cleavage by the toxin and antibodies that do not recognise the substrate but recognise and bind to the product of cleavage of the substrate by the toxin. The substrate can be a nerve cell peptide when the assay is for botulinum toxin or tetanus toxin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2002
