Definition von (isim) antitoksin im Türkisch Englisch wörterbuch

antitoxin

An antibody that is capable of neutralising specific toxins that are causative agents of disease; microorganisms including viruses and bacteria

a substance which neutralizes the poisonous products of micro-organisms

a medicine or substance produced by your body which stops the effects of a poison. Antibody formed in the body in reaction to a bacterial toxin, which it can neutralize. People who have recovered from bacterial diseases often develop specific antitoxins that give them immunity against recurrence. Injecting an animal (usually a horse) with increasing doses of toxin produces a high concentration of antitoxin in the blood. The resulting highly concentrated preparation of antitoxins is called an antiserum. The first antitoxin developed (1890) was specific to diphtheria; today, antitoxins are also used to treat botulism, dysentery, gas gangrene, and tetanus

{i} substance that counteracts toxins

A substance (sometimes the product of a specific micro-organism and sometimes naturally present in the blood or tissues of an animal), capable of producing immunity from certain diseases, or of counteracting the poisonous effects of pathogenic bacteria
