Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...blood), whereas, additions of large quantities of ox or horse serum were less effective, and dog, fowl, and fresh rabbit serum did not prevent precipitation. Similarly, the authors I have cited found that anti-ox serum acted least upon the addition of much ox serum, more markedly upon adding the serum of the horse, most when the sera of the dog, man, rabbit, and fowl were added. That is to say, the latter did not impede the reaction. It is possible, it seems to me, that this appearance may be due to normal antiprecipitin, or precipitolysin if I may so term it, which is present only in small quantity in normal serum, and therefore only exerts an obvious effect when large amounts of a serum are added to an homologous antiserum. (See Observation in. p. 89.) Artificial Antiprecipitins have been produced by Kraus and Eisenberg (Wiener klin. Wochenschr., 1901, p. 1191; see also 27, II. 1902, p. 212--213) through treating goats with goat-lactoserum obtained from rabbits which had been treated with goat's milk. They found that antilactoserum prevented the precipitation of milk by lactoserum. In addition, the antilactoserum contained antihaemolysin, which was natural, for the goat lactoserum (obtained from rabbits) was haemolytic for goat's red blood corpuscles. Schiitze (2, XII. 1901) has also succeeded in obtaining antilactosera, which, as stated above, are analogous to the antihaemolysins (see p. 21). Schiitze's antiprecipitin retarded or prevented the precipitation of milk by its homologous antiserum. It remains to be determined if injections with precipitoids, which have been compared to toxoids, will lead to the formation of antiprecipitins, as toxoids do of antitoxins, as discovered by Ehrlich (1900 Croonian Lect.). I propose to see if this is possible. stimu...
