It is concluded that IHA is a simple, sensitive and reproducible alternative test which can replace the animal TN tests for the estimation of tetanus and diphtheria antitoxins and could reliably be used in the potency assay of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids of combined vaccines based on antibody induction in mice.

In particular, we have studied the potential for these materials to behave as polyvalent antitoxins by incorporating synthetic galactose amphiphiles, which mimic the natural cell surface ligand for the protein toxin ricin.
