Much has been learned regarding the mechanisms by which this is accomplished and the circulating antibodies which participate in providing this immunity. Under natural conditions these reactions are nearly always beneficial if they are efficient, and the term immunity has come to indicate a favorable and highly desirable state. The introduction into the body of blood or tissue products of another individual of the same species will often stimulate...1 DameshekSchwartz WSO: Hemolysins as the cause of clinical and experimental hemolytic anemias with particular reference to the nature of spherocytosis and increased fragility, Am.
