Abstract
In recent years immunity reactions have come to be regarded more particularly from the physico-chemical standpoint. Many of the phenomena occurring in immunity reactions are shown to be of the nature of colloidal chemical processes, and the laws which govern such processes have been found to hold, at least partially, for reactions occurring in sera, which belong to the class of colloidal protein solutions. Thus the application to immunity reactions, of such conceptions as viscosity and surface tension, has afforded a more reasonable explanation of these reactions. In the following paper special reference will be made to the surface tension, changes of which play an important part in all immunity reactions.
