Excerpt from Immunochemistry
It is evident that the objection recently raised by Ehrlich and Sachs to this manner of investigation, namely, that it does not enter upon the mode by which the living body produces these so-called antibodies, is quite true. An investigation of the chemical relations of toxin and antitoxin need not carry with it an elucidation of the synthesis of the antitoxin. But I fancy that there are many who are so deeply interested in the chemical be haviour of these substances that they will find an investi gation of this question well worthy of study. And for myself, furthermore, I believe that the physiological side of the problem, alluded to by Ehrlich, will not find a satis factory solution until the more simple Chemical aspect is elucidated.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the application of the methods of physical chemistry to the study of the interaction of toxins and antitoxins in the body's immune system. This chemical approach to immunology was not widely accepted at the time of the book's writing, as most scientists held the physiological hypothesis, which stated that antibodies stimulated the body's defense mechanisms rather than chemically neutralizing toxins. The author puts forward a compelling argument against the then-prevailing physiological hypothesis, citing evidence from studies demonstrating that the reaction between toxin and antitoxin is reversible and follows the law of mass action just like other chemical reactions. This book was instrumental in establishing the chemical basis of immunology, a field that continues to inform medical research and treatment today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330807637_0
