- Anatoxin: a bacterial toxin that has been weakened until it is no longer toxic but is strong enough to induce the formation of antibodies and immunity to the specific disease caused by the toxin; "diphtheria toxoid"
- A toxoid is a bacterial toxin (usually an exotoxin) whose toxicity has been weakened or suppressed either by chemical (formalin) or heat treatment, while other properties, typically immunogenicity, are maintained. ...
- (Toxoids) Preparations of pathogenic organisms or their derivatives made nontoxic and intended for active immunologic prophylaxis. They include deactivated toxins
- A nontoxic derivative of a toxin used as an immunogen for the induction of antibodies capable of cross-reacting with the toxin.
- A toxin modified to invoke an antibody response, but not capable of causing disease. Immunizations for diphtheria and tetanus use toxoids.
- Chemically or physically modified toxin that is no longer harmful but retains immunogenicity.
- A toxin which has been modified so that it is no longer toxic, but which retains its antigenic functions. Can be used as a vaccine either alone, or in combination with anti-toxin molecules.
- Inactivated or killed toxin (such as diphtheria or tetanus) used in vaccine production. A toxoid vaccine is made from a toxin (poison) that has been made harmless. A diphtheria toxoid vaccine immunizes against diphtheria; a tetanus toxoid vaccine immunizes against tetanus.
