    Immunology
    Hi everyone... I am a med lab tech from Canada and I really need some help.
    Need to know in point form the events that begin inside the body after an injection of tetanus toxoid, beginning with the reaction at point of entry, and then proceeding to the systemic reactions

    You'll have to do the work of cleaning up the answer and probably open your notes for some details, but the basic path is germination at wound, toxins to blood/lymph to spinal cord motor neurons, systemic tetany from constant stimulation of the motor neurons. Think opposite botulism, where the toxin prevents stimulation.

    It's not the disease process that I need, but the immune response to the injection against tetanus
