Figure 1 Serum IgG antitoxin A antibody values in 3 subjects with recurrent C difficile–associated diarrhea. The subjects received intramuscular inoculations of a C difficile toxin vaccine on days 0, 7, 28, and 56 (arrows). Serum IgG antitoxin A antibody was measured by ELISA. The highest dilutions of serum that neutralized the cytotoxicity of purified C difficile toxin A are shown in parentheses for all serum samples that had detectable toxin neutralizing activity.
