In response to the presence of diphtheria exotoxin, the body makes a neutralizing substance called antitoxin, which enables the affected person to recover from the disease if the antitoxin is produced fast enough and in sufficient quantities.
Delay of first-aid treatment in the hope of finding a neutralizing substance is a serious error, as strong acids and alkalis quickly become bound to the ocular tissues and cause severe damage.
The first evidence of presence of a neutralizing substance in the blood that could counter infections came when Emil von Behring along with Kitasato Shibasaburō in 1890 developed effective serum against diphtheria.
The volcanic rocks which make up some of the seamounts in the Kodiak-Bowie Seamount chain are unusual in that they have an acid-neutralizing chemical substance like typical ocean-island basalts but a low percentage of strontium as found at mid-ocean ridge basalts.
We established the in vivo measurement of fluorescence intensity and used the recombinant viruses to measure inhibition of viral replication by neutralizing antibodies or antiviral substances.
Tom Giesen Eugene, Ore .Malcolm Gladwell, in his piece on genetic advantage, sports, and doping, considers the possibility that athletes who use banned substances are merely neutralizing differences in genetic gifts ("Man and Superman," September 9th).
However, the viability of breast cancer cells could not be completely rescued by an HMGB1 neutralizing antibody, implying that other substances released from dead cancer cells may be responsible for Dox resistance.
We show here, that the recombinant viruses can be used to quantify the inhibition of viral replication by neutralizing antibodies or to screen for antiviral substances by measuring the fluorescence intensity in intact cells.
It is a total measure of the substances in water that have "acid-neutralizing" ability.
According to Maruoka and Koeberl, the calcium and silica were vaporized by the impact and then crystallized as larnite, a substance that's extremely efficient at neutralizing acid in water.
