Gaston Ramon September 30, 1886 June 8, 1963 was a France French veterinarian and biologist best known for his role in the treatment of diphtheria and tetanus . He was born in Bellechaume Yonne , France and attended l cole v t rinaire d Alfort from 1906 to 1910. In 1917 he married Marthe Momont, grandniece of Emile Roux . During the 1920s, Ramon made major contributions to the development of effective vaccines for both diphtheria and tetanus . In particular, he developed a method for inactivating the diphtheria toxin and the tetanus toxin using formaldehyde which, in its essentials, is still used in vaccines manufactured today. He also developed a method for determining the potency of the vaccines, an essential element required for the reproducible production of these pharmaceuticals. Reference Ebisawa, I. 1987.

In medicine, a booster dose is an extra administration of a vaccine after an earlier dose. After initial immunization , a booster injection or booster dose is a re exposure to the immunizing antigen .

Tetanolysin is a toxin produced by Clostridium tetani bacteria. Its function is unknown but it is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of tetanus .The other C. tetani toxin, tetanospasmin , is more definitively linked to tetanus. Tetanolysin belongs to a family of protein toxins known as cytolysin s which bind to cholesterol . Cytolysins form pores in the cytoplasmic membrane that allows for the passage of ion s and other molecules into the cell. The molecular weight of tetanolysin is approximately 55,000 atomic mass unit daltons . http www.listlabs.com Literature 199.htm References Alouf, J. 1997 pp 7 10 in Guidebook to Protein Toxins and Their Use in Cell Biology , Ed.
