Anti-tetanus serum is also known as tetanus immune globlulin. In the US, commercial brands available include HyperTet and BayTet. Blood from people who have been immunized with tetanus vaccine is processed to get the tetanus antibodies, which is injected to prevent tetanus in an un-immunized person.
Tetanus is caused by a toxin released by a bacterial organism. The serum contains antibodies to the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The antibodies inactivate the toxin in the blood stream and prevent an individual from experiencing tetanus.
one must get anti tetanus serum(a.t.s) after an injury specially in the case of cuts because the cut portion is now exposed to atmoshphere and it is prone to infection caused by bctetria,fungus etc since the atmoshphere carries a lots of microbes in it .the anti tetanus serum intiates the w.b.c to fight against any foreign invation or entry of foreign microbes.some pathogenic microbes live in our body also .which causes disease.this tetanus vaccine saves us from infections

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.
The term for a collection of dried serum and cellular debris is called a crust.
IgE, also known as immunoglobulin E serum is a test to measure the level if IgE in the blood. IgE is a class of antibodies made by the immune system.
The anti-particle of an electron is called a positron. It has the same mass as an electron but carries a positive charge, making it the antimatter counterpart of the electron. When a positron and an electron collide, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays.
