Antitoxins are antibodies produced by the immune system that neutralize toxins, typically from pathogens like bacteria. They bind to specific toxins, preventing them from interacting with cells and causing harm. Antitoxins can be administered therapeutically to treat certain infections, such as tetanus or diphtheria, by providing immediate protection or support to the immune response. Overall, they play a critical role in defending the body against toxic substances.
