Immunotoxicotherapy: protective effect of anti-colchicine antibodies in acute colchicine poisoning in rabbits and mice

Anti-colchicine antibodies are able to neutralize toxic effects of colchicine after acute intoxication in rabbits and mice. The protecting effect is demonstrated by active immunization (rabbits) or passive immunization (mice). These data suggest that the immunotoxicotherapy may be useful for compounds (colchicine) with intracellular action.
