| Abstract: | Use of polyclonal antibodies failed to correlate mouse assay with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in titration of culture fluid of different strains of Clostridium botulinum type B. If ELISA is performed with such a monoclonal antibody that is capable of neutralizing the toxin, however, the lethal toxicity can be determined quantitatively. |
