toxoid
Harmless immunizing agent
A toxoid is a bacterial toxin that has been chemically treated to eliminate its harmful properties while retaining its ability to stimulate an immune response.
Toxoids are used in vaccines to provide immunity against diseases like tetanus and diphtheria: The tetanus toxoid is given as part of the DTaP vaccine.
The body learns to recognize and neutralize the toxin without experiencing its dangerous effects.
