ABSTRACT:
A toxin assay that uses a substrate for cleavage by the toxin and antibodies that do not recognize the substrate but recognize and bind to the product of cleavage of the substrate by the toxin. The substrate can be a nerve cell peptide when the assay is for botulinum toxin or tetanus toxin.
