Since List Labs introduced products in the Tetanus Toxin family more than 25 years ago, interest and knowledge in this field has multiplied. Tetanus Toxin C fragment, the non-toxic C-terminal domain of the heavy chain, is retrogradely transported to the central nervous system and is useful as a neuronal tracer and a biological carrier. It is also reported to have neuroprotective effects in mice, providing protection against methamphetamine induced neurotoxicity and motor impairment. Tetanus Toxin is used in an animal model of temporal lobe epilepsy, and Tetanus Toxoid is a recall (memory) antigen for activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Tetanus Toxoid is used as a carrier protein for glycoconjugate vaccines, and acts as a vaccine adjuvant stimulating protective immune responses.
