Tetanus Toxoid
Tetanus toxoid is a vaccine component prepared by formaldehyde inactivation of tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) from Clostridium tetani, which when administered as part of immunization schedules (DTaP, Td, Tdap), stimulates production of specific neutralizing antibodies that prevent the neurotoxin from binding to nerve terminals and blocking inhibitory neurotransmitter release. It forms the basis of universal tetanus immunization programs and is included in combination vaccines for pediatric and adult immunization. Booster doses maintain protective antibody levels throughout life.
