The body produces antitoxin antibodies as a major defense against exotoxins.
Is it true that the body produces antitoxin antibodies as a major defense against exotoxins?
Yes. The body produces and utilizes neutralizing antibodies (antitoxins) as a primary defense mechanism to bind and neutralize bacterial exotoxins.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature consistently supports the concept that neutralizing antibodies serve as a core defense and therapeutic strategy against bacterial exotoxins (e.g., C. difficile toxins, streptolysin O, botulinum neurotoxins).
