Paperback. Condizione: 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.
