Immune serum globulin

In addition to anthrax vaccine, the organization was a licensed producer of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertusis vaccines, adsorbed immune serum globulin (human) pertusis vaccine adsorbed rabies vaccine adsorbed and tetanus toxoid, adsorbed. See Plotkin and Orenstein (1999), Appendix2, pp. 1190-1193. 

Injected forms of antibodies which have been generated in another body or animal can be isolated, purified, and administered as standard human immune serum globulin (ISG), and ISG plus preparation, or as an animal antiserum or antitoxin. Some serums which are available are those for rabies, snake and insect bites, botulism, and tetanus. Temporary immunity of up to six months to hepatitis can be imparted by one "gamma globulin" shot. More permanent active immunity is available to health care workers.
