is work it followsthat even for the phagocytic destruction of bac-teria the serum contains properties which are ofessential importance. This appears of all the moreimportance from the fact that immunization withat least some micro-organisms (streptococcus,staphylococcus) causes an increase in opsonins orbacteriotropic substances. The accompanying illustration, with some modi-fications, is taken from Ehrlich/s Seitenketten-ihcorie, by Ludvig Aschoff. The cell used forimmunization is assumed to be a cell which willcause the formation of antitoxin, agglutinin orprecipitin, and bactericidal amboceptors; thediphtheria bacillus is such an organism, consider-ing toxin as one of the receptors of the bacillus.This means that the bacillus is able to cause theoverproduction of all three types of receptors. Theillustration, however, is on the basis of a hypo-thetical cell (p. 360). A list of immunizing bodies, their anti-bodies,and synonyms for complement and amboceptor,is also appended (p. 361).
