206 HEMOLYSIS AND SERUM CYTOTOXINS 



them may be mentioned epitheliolysin (for ciliated epithelium), 

 spermatotoxin, hepatolysin, eardiolysin, splenolysin, and syncy- 

 tiolysin. Attempts at the production of immune serum with 

 adrenal by Abbott l resulted only in a serum with great hemo- 

 lytic power, but with no particular effect on the adrenal. In 

 general it can be said that it has not been found possible in this 

 way to throw out of function one particular organ, with or with- 

 out involvement of other structures. The most suggestive 

 results have been obtained by Beebe, 2 who has used nucleo- 

 proteids of specific organs in immunizing. 



The principles involved in all these experiments are the 

 same, and the results are in no instance altogether satisfactory ; 

 therefore no further consideration of these special cytotoxic 

 serums will be made here, the reader being referred to a com- 

 plete resume" and bibliography of the subject by Sachs 3 for 

 details.
