Emanations CHEMICAL A S P E C T S O F I M M U N I T Y (Inspired b y reading Wells' A. C. S. Monograph) The subject of immunity i s one of great complexity, And many different factors seem to enter in its scope. Antigens and amboceptors, precipitin and the receptors. To ferret out tlieir action i s the biochemist's hope. The nature of xeaetions is sometimes problematical, Both chemistry and physics play a most important part. The importance of the colloids i s certainly emphatical, And pH enters into our story at the start. The action of t h e antigens is often quite specific, And the various antitoxins are the medico's delight. They exert a lethal action on bacteria prolific, Though the method~of their action is most often out of sight. The immunizing bodies are in one way like the vitamins, But here the similarity is i n only one respect. (Of antigenic a c t i o n quite devoid we find the protamines) We only know the two exist because of their effect. E . C. HOUSTON CHEMICAL K I L L S
