toxoid;it is nothing but the reduced or inactive form of toxin .it is nothing but the vaccine.
altered FORM for toxins are nothing but the TOXIODS,TOXIOD-ANTITOXIN FLOCCULES,ALUM PRECIPITATED TOXOIDS,PURIFIED AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE ,ETC.
ALL these altered form of toxins contains reduced or inactive form of microorganisms or their products.these act as antigens in our body and thus they contain mainly antigenecity property.
if antigen containing preparations are introduced into our body we acquire active immunity.
as it is artificially acquired we attain finally ARTIFICIALLY ACQUIRED ACTIVE IMMUNITY.
there are some preparation which causes passive immunity .these contain only antibodies.hence this immunity will not last lonf for life time.EX;sera containing preparations such as human immuno sera ,horse sera,tetanus antitoxin,diphytheria antitoxin,etc.
hence immunisation with altered form of tetanus toxin will provide artificially acquired active immunity which last longs for life time for that specific antigen clostridium tetaniorganism or for its toxin.
alterd forms of various toxins are available in market in names of toxoids or neutralised floccules,etc.

What are the different types of immunities?
IMMUNITY Condition of being immune or resistant to a certain disease.Acquired Immunity Immunity obtained either from the development of antibodies in response to exposure to an antigen, as from vaccination or an attack of an infectious disease, or from the transmission of antibodies, as from mother to fetus through the placenta or the injection of antiserum.1. Active Aquired Immunity Antibodies produced within the body resulted from the exposure to an agent.a. Natural -immunity developed after the infection to a certain pathogen.b. Artificial - received from a vaccine.Vaccine - artificially induced immunity. A person is deliberately exposed to a harmless pathogen, which will stimulate the person's immune system that may produce a memory to the cell. Living, inactive and toxin Tetanus toxoid - altered form of toxin, tetanospasmin.2. Passive Aquired ImmunityAntibodies that were produced by another person or more, or an animal.Lasts : 3-6 wksNatural Motheràfetus ColostrumArtificial Transferrinmg antibodies from an immune person to a susceptible person Immune Serum Globulin (ISG) - antibodied taken from the blood of many immune people. Hyperimmune Serum Globulin / Specific Immune Globulin - prepared from the serum of persons with high antibody levels against specific disease.
