Standardised methods must be used to compare the properties of botulinum toxin serotypes

ABSTRACT With little doubt, our knowledge about different types of botulinum toxin (BoNT), especially the numerous subtypes, has expanded significantly in recent times. As more subtypes are found, these must be studied in detail and characterised in comparison to the main members of each group. Their pharmacological properties are especially important since any changes, especially in biological activity/potency, need to be identified.
