title: Clostridium perfringens toxins absorbed on filter paper--a simple method for sample conservation.
abstract: Clostridium perfringens type C and type D toxins were absorbed on filter paper, dried and stored at room temperature (18-20 degrees C), at 37 degrees C, at 4 degrees C and at -20 degrees C. Type specific toxin was correctly identified in the EIA for 74 days. Absorption on filter paper may offer a simple method for conservation and transport of post mortem samples from cases of suspected enterotoxaemia.
