The tetanus purified anatoxin is used in the preparation of multiple immunoprophylactics. WHO (World Health Organization) specifies that the tetanus anatoxin must exhibit a degree of purity greater than or equal to 1,000 Lf/mg protein nitrogen (PN). Today liquid chromatography is a well established technique for the purification of tetanus anatoxin and several different methods are used in production scale. On a small scale, we purified tetanus anatoxin on Sephacryl S-200 High Resolution (gel filtration) and we obtained a successful high-yield purification. On the basis of these results, by combining conventional tangential flow filtration (TFF) at 50,000 N.M.W.L. (Nominal Molecular Weight Limit) ultrafiltration membrane with gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 High Resolution, we have been able to purify 14 lots of tetanus anatoxin using the Bioprocess System (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) to a large scale operation. Using this method, 77,401,332 doses of tetanus toxoid were prepared in 14 consecutive lots, supporting the reproducibility and reliability of the method presented here.

In the history of science, there are great scientists who, without being physicians, wrote golden pages in the History of Medicine. Such was Louis Pasteur, founder of scientific microbiology and immunology. Such was his follower Gaston Ramon (1886-1963), French veterinarian and immunologist who created 100 years ago first anatoxin for active prevention of diphtheria and later tetanus and thus opened era of anatoxins (toxoids) - vaccines based on toxin molecule devoid of toxic properties, but preserving immunogenicity and antigenic specificity.

Routine immunization against diphtheria and tetanus has drastically reduced the incidence of these diseases worldwide. Anti-diphtheria/tetanus vaccine has in general aluminum salt as adjuvant in its formulation that can produce several adverse effects. There is a growing interest in developing new adjuvants.

We review some of the precursor works of the Pasteurians in the field of bacterial toxins. The word "toxin" was coined in 1888 by Ludwig Brieger to qualify different types of poison released by bacteria. Pasteur had identified the bacteria as the cause of putrefaction but never used the word toxin.

It is a very rare disease in Czechia due to successful and effective population-wide vaccination programme, despite the fact that spores of C. tetani are permanently present in the environment.
