146 VETERINARY BACTERIOLOGY 



Enzymes, like toxins, are thermolabile. The zymophore may 

 be destroyed without injuring the haptophore. 



It is probable that there are certain antiferments constantly 

 present in body tissues which prevent the activity of the autolytic 

 and other enzymes during life. 



Other Antibodies Related to Antitoxins. Antibodies of the 

 same type as the antitoxin have been produced for agglutinins, 

 amboceptors, complements, and other bodies. These will be 

 considered with their specific antigens.
