Enzymatic Concept of Anaphylaxis and Allergy and the Role of Eosinophils in Anaphylactic Reactions Related to Hormonal Alterations

Enzymatic Concept of Anaphylaxis and Allergy and the Role of Eosinophils in Anaphylactic... The book is divided into three sections, dealing respectively with the author's enzymatic concept of anaphylaxis and allergy, with the role of hormones in anaphylaxis, and with the place of the eosinophil in hypersensitivity and hormonal influence. The author believes that the anaphylactic or allergic reaction is produced as follows: The antigen produces a toxic proteolysis; the proteoses thus liberated activate nonspecific proteinases; a chaotic proteolysis of the organism's own proteins is thus started and the resultant toxins formed produce the local and constitutional manifestations of anaphylaxis and allergy. He regards the eosinophils as carriers of antigens and believes these cells are formed in the intestinal mucosa and in other tissues in addition to the bone marrow. The author supports these and other contentions with experimental data of his own and those of other workers. This little book will be interesting reading for the student of anaphylaxis and allergy, even http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
