  15. For this reason Ehrlich classes agglutinins and precipitins as receptors of the second order.

  16. These free receptors constitute, in this case, antitoxin, so-called because they can combine with toxin and hence neutralize it.

  17. In this case the cells introduced, or more properly, some substances within the cells, act as stimuli to the body cells of the animal injected to cause them to produce more of the specific cell receptors which respond to the stimulus.

  18. Since these receptors are the simplest type which has been studied as yet, they are spoken of by Ehrlich as receptors of the first order.

  19. If the stimulus is kept up, more and more of these receptors are produced until an excess for the cell accumulates, which excess is excreted from the individual cell and becomes free in the blood.

  20. It will be noticed that the receptors which become the free agglutinins have at least two functions, hence at least two chemical groups.

  25. Unless the living cells have receptors which will enable the combination with the toxine to take place, no effect can be produced by the toxine and the cells are not injured.

  26. The receptors so produced pass into the blood, where they combine with the toxine which has been absorbed; the combination is a stable one, and the toxine is thus prevented from combining with the tissue cells.

  27. Under the stimulus of this the cell produces these receptors in excess which enter into the blood and there combine with the toxine as in a^1 b^1, thus anchoring it and preventing it from acting upon the cells.
