Neutralisation (or neutralization) in the immunological sense refers to the ability of antibodies to block the site(s) on bacteria or viruses that they use to enter their target cell. One example of this within biology is a neutralizing antibody.
Here the small soluble complexes neutralize the microbial toxins(exotoxins).These are antigen-antibody reactions that determine whether the activity of toxin or virus has been neutralized by an antibody.
