Abstract
According to the present invention it has been found that a novel E. coli toxin or an immunogenic fragment thereof can be used in the preparation of vaccines for warm-blooded animals, and in particular for birds. Said toxin is found to be associated in flagellar structures attached to the bacteria, and these flagella or the free toxins can, after inactivation be used to immunize animals against E. coli infections.
