Figure 9.

Right–left ratios at 0 and 24 h of mice injected with BoNT neutralized with antitoxin (white column) or with toxin only (control; black column). In the neutralized toxin group, the left EDL muscles were injected with 3 µL of the toxin–antitoxin mixture. In the control group, the left EDL muscles were injected with 3 µL BoNT type A at 1 LD₅₀ per mouse. In both groups, the right EDL muscles were injected with 3 µL GBS. *, value differs significantly (P < 0.05) from that of the GBS control group.
