Molecule Role Annotation :
In 1923, it was discovered that treatment with formalin eliminated the toxicity of diphtheria toxin (DT) without destroying its immunogenicity. Formalin‐treated DT, now called diphtheria toxoid, rapidly became the preferred vaccine against diphtheria, and diphtheria toxoid (usually in combined vaccines, such as diphtheria‐tetanus toxoids–pertussis vaccine [DTP] or diphtheria‐tetanus toxoids–acellular pertussis vaccine [DTaP] for children and tetanus‐diphtheria toxoids vaccine for adults [Td]) is still used throughout the world for active immunization against diphtheria (Holmes, 2000).
