Toxoids

 Toxoids

These are exotoxins produced by certain microorganisms which are treated with formalin to destroy their toxicity but retaining their immunogenicity.

Toxoids are usually prepared by inactivating exotoxins with formalin or heat.

For example; 

Diphtheria toxoids vaccine

Tetanus toxoid vaccine
