Antigenic relationship between the dermonecrotic toxins produced by Pasteurella multocida type D and type A

Zentralbl Veterinarmed B. 1989 May;36(3):199-202. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0450.1989.tb00592.x.

Abstract

Crude dermonecrotic toxins (DNT) were prepared from Pasteurella multocida (P.m.) type D and type A strains isolated from pigs with atrophic rhinitis. Rabbits were immunized with the DNT of P.m. type D. This serum neutralized the DNT of P.m. type A to the same degree as the homologous one both in vitro (cytopathogenicity for tissue culture cells) and in vivo (mouse lethality and dermonecrotic activity in guinea pig).
