Synopsis

This book offers fascinating insights into a newly discovered phenomenon: the development of a fatal allergy to horse serum in guinea pigs following exposure. The author's controlled experiments demonstrate how prior sensitization with horse serum triggers a severe reaction leading to sudden death, a previously unknown effect. The author reveals how the toxic principle responsible for this reaction acts on the respiratory center, and presents an in-depth analysis of factors mediating its poisonous action. This groundbreaking work not only sheds light on the complexities of anaphylaxis, but also contributes significantly to our understanding of immune mechanisms. By examining the variable effects of blood serum from different animal species, the author unravels the intricate relationship between the toxic and hemolytic properties of blood serum, drawing attention to the existence of a deadly poison independent of any hemolytic action.
