Characterization of immune response induced against catalytic domain of botulinum neurotoxin type E
Abstract Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) represent a family of bacterial toxins responsible for neuroparalytic disease ‘botulism’ in human and animals. Their potential use as biological weapon led to their classification in category ‘A’ biowarfare agent by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C...
