- Title
Antitoxins: novel strategies to target agents of bioterrorism.
- Authors
Rainey, G. Jonah A.; Young, John A. T.
- Abstract
Never before has there been such a strong possibility that biological agents might be used indiscriminately on civilian populations. This review focuses on the use of antitoxins — antibodies, receptor decoys, dominant-negative inhibitors of translocation, small-molecule inhibitors and substrate analogues — to counteract those biological weapons for which toxins are an important mechanism of disease pathogenesis.
