this is your answer


Toxoid, bacterial poison (toxin) that is no longer active but retains the property of combining with or stimulating the formation of antibodies. In many bacterial diseases the bacteria itself remains sequestered in one part of the body but produces a poison (exotoxin) that causes the disease manifestations

A toxoid is a bacterial toxin whose toxicity has been inactivated or suppressed either by chemical or heat treatment, while other properties, typically immunogenicity, are maintained. There are toxoids for prevention of diphtheria, tetanus and botulism.
