Article: Protection against challenge with Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin by immunization of rats with cholera toxin/toxoid

Rats were used to study dose-response curves to intestinal challenge with cholera toxin or Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin. Prior immunization with cholera toxin/toxoid induced significant and equal protection against both toxins.
