A new anthrax antibody that protects and defends against inhalation anthrax has been developed by scientists at the University of Texas at Austin.In tests on animals, this antibody -- an anthrax antitoxin -- worked without the use of antibiotics and other more expensive antibodies and successfully eliminated both anthrax bacteria and its deadly toxins, the researchers said.The findings appear in the December issue of the journal Infection and Immunity.
