The Toxine Alcohol," which deals with leucocytes and their functions.
Alcohol is in fact, the toxine produced by yeast, and, like many other toxines, it is not only poisonous to cells which produce it, but to any animal into whose veins it may happen to get.
When one ingests alcohol it is carried by the blood to the tissues, mostly to the liver, where it is oxidized, as any toxine would be, for the purpose of making it harmless.
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.
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.
The receptors c and d do not fit the toxine molecule.
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.
It has been found that the production of antitoxine can be so stimulated by the injection of toxine that the blood of the animal used for the purpose contains large amounts of antitoxine.
A very ingenious theory which well accords with the facts has been given by Ehrlich in explanation of the production of antitoxine and of the reaction between toxine and antitoxine (Fig.
True, it would appear that to-day a way of escape may be offered by the discovery of the anti-toxine for fatigue.
I am the germ that expels the other germs--a sort of anti-toxine in cuffs.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "toxine" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
