Studies on Antibody-Antigen Mixtures

[摘要] A method to investigate the effect of Ab-A mixtures on normal living isolated tissue has been described.Normal living uterine tissue and intestinal strips respond to Ab-A mixtures with immediate histamine-like contractions. This reaction is apparently specific and produces a state of refractoriness which is specific.The outcome of the reaction depends on a quantitative relationship between antibody and antigen and on another serum-factor which is probably complement.
