It has an anti-infectious action brought about by internal disinfection, but is, in this respect, in contrast to the anti-bacterial disinfectant treatment methods which, for example, can be carried out in laboratory experiments with the aid of the R. Pfeiffer's bacteriolysin; because its activity is only detoxication, we call it antitoxic.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

The term "antitoxic" signifies that serum has the power of neutralizing the action of the toxin, as is shown by mixing them together outside the body and then injecting them into an animal.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

The detoxicating, or as it is also called, the antitoxic serum therapy, is, on the other hand, humoral therapy.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

For this reason, these bodies were called antitoxins and the immunity so produced was called antitoxic immunity.    From Wordnik.com.  [Physiology or Medicine 1919 - Presentation Speech] Reference

In the case of diphtheria the antitoxic power of the serum may reach 800 units per cubic centimetre, or even more.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

Serum therapy in the form in which it finds application in the treatment of diphtheria patients is an antitoxic or detoxicating curative method.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

In addition, a certain time must elapse from the injection of the serum until its antitoxic and healing activity in the affected parts of the body can develop.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

However this may be, no one doubts any more of the existence of a humoral therapy since antitoxic diphtheria therapy has found an assured place for itself in medicine.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

An attempt has been made to make a comparison between the method of action of the antitoxic serum albumin on the poison molecules with other compensating and inactivating processes.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

So far as bacterial immunity is concerned, the anti-serum exerts its action either on the toxin or on the bacterium itself; that is, its action is either antitoxic or anti-bacterial.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

These circumstances serve, in part at least, to explain the fact that the success attending the use of anti-bacterial sera has been much inferior to that in the case of antitoxic sera.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

I doubt whether it will ever be possible to establish artificially the antitoxic principle of serum therapy in diphtheria, without the aid of vital organization and secretion faculties.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

It has, moreover, been found that the serum of various animals has a certain amount of antitoxic action, and thus the basis for antitoxin production, according to Ehrlich's theory, is afforded.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

The body-fluids of animals immunized against other pathogens did not present those antitoxic properties, but, nevertheless, the serums did have an energetic action on the infection in question.    From Wordnik.com.  [Physiology or Medicine 1919 - Presentation Speech] Reference

Immunity against toxins also became a subject of investigation, and the result was the discovery of the antitoxic action of the serum of animals immunized against tetanus toxin by E. Behring and.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

In the years 1881-1883 he carried out important investigations on the action of iodoform, stating that it does not kill microbes but may neutralize the poisons given off by them, thus being antitoxic.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Biography] Reference

I imagine, in fact, that, as regards chemical analysis, the antitoxic and the toxic protein stay exactly the same after detoxication as before; what changes is simply the activated condition; in the same way as the conductors of positive and negative electricity, before and after compensation of their active conditions, remain the same substances in terms of chemical analysis.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference

He is antitoxic; he is a literary germicide of peculiar power.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Last Harvest] Reference

Recently there has come into vogue a treatment by a serum supposed to have antitoxic power against this disease, but its exact value is, as yet, by no means settled; it must be used early if any good is to be expected from it.    From Wordnik.com.  [Health on the Farm A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene] Reference

Or we might fancy that by extremely subtle machinery the resistance is increased in those tissues which lie between the various neurons, or we might even think of toxic and antitoxic processes in the cerebral regions; and any day may open entirely new ways of explanation.    From Wordnik.com.  [Psychotherapy] Reference

It is one of the most wonderful things imaginable to see how the supply of poison becomes the prerequisite for the appearance of the antidote in the poisoned living organism, how then the antidote in the blood reaches a state of almost unbelievable antitoxic energy through the systematic increase of the poison supply, how the bearers of this energy, the albumins and globulins of the blood, show no sign of any chemical change whatever, how the newly-won energy is so elective that we have no other means of proving its existence than solely by the diphtheria poison.    From Wordnik.com.  [Emil von Behring - Nobel Lecture] Reference
