Immune Sera A Concise Exposition of Our Present Knowledge Concerning the Constitution and Mode of Action of Antitoxins, Agglutinins, Hmolysins, Cytotoxins, and Opsonins Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Immune Sera: A Concise Exposition of Our Present Knowledge Concerning the Constitution and Mode of Action of Antitoxins, Agglutinins, Hæmolysins, Bacteriolysins, Precipitins, Cytotoxins, and Opsonins

The favorable reception accorded to the previous editions of this book, together with the fact that our knowledge of the subject has increased con siderably in the past few years, has led the author to undertake a thorough revision of the work.

In its first edition, in 1904, this book dealt only with certain antibodies whose discovery had aroused a great deal of scientific interest, namely, haemoly sins, cytotoxins, and precipitins. To this was added, in subsequent editions, a discussion of anti toxins, agglutinins, and opsonins. All these topics were naturally embraced under the title Immune Sera. In the present (fourth) edition, while the old title has been retained, the scope of the sub ject matter has been greatly extended, SO that now there is presented an exposition of the main facts of infection/and immunity.
