Toxoids are inactivated toxins from pathogens. They are used to stimulate the production of antibodies. Though many pathogens are not harmful themselves, the toxins they are produce cause sickness. Toxoids can be used to protect the body against such illnesses. Both tetanus and diphtheria immunization use toxoids.
