The first preparations used for artificially acquired passive immunity were antibodies produced in horse serum. A complication that resulted from the therapeutic use of horse serum was immune complex?

The use of horse serum for artificially acquired passive immunity often led to the formation of immune complexes, which can occur when antibodies bind to antigens, forming aggregates that may trigger inflammatory responses. This can result in adverse reactions, such as serum sickness, characterized by symptoms like fever, rash, and joint pain. Additionally, the introduction of foreign proteins from the horse serum can provoke an immune response in the recipient, complicating treatment outcomes. As a result, while effective, the use of horse serum raised concerns about safety and tolerability in patients.

Is the tetanus vaccine made from horse serum?

No, the tetanus toxoid (routine vaccine) is not. However, the tetanus antitoxin for horses (which imparts antibodies directly to the horse that were produced by another horse) does. That is why the antitoxin comes with increased risk of adverse reaction and also why it doesn't provide prolonged protection. The toxoid causes the horse's body to develop it's own antibodies against the toxin that causes Tetanus while the antitoxin is pre-made antibodies.
