The first reports on toxin-neutralizing substances date back to the early 1890's, when Metchnikoff demonstrated that Bacillus subtilis was able to produce substances which neutralized diphtheria toxin, tetanus toxin and snake venom after a period of "in vitro" combination. It was further shown that fungi, such as Isarias, Sporotrichous and Torula, parasites of insects and human parasites, destroyed the toxicity of various bacterial toxins (Metchnikoff, 1897).
