TOXINS AND ANTITOXINS 211 It is plain that the substances with the strongest affinity for antitoxin must be bound first by the antitoxin. This does not diminish the toxic value of the mixture; and these are the protoxoids. Next are bound syntoxoids and toxins, and, finally, the toxons. It is plain that, by this method, the constitution of any given toxin may be ascertained, and Ehrlich has constructed, on the basis of these observations, what he terms his toxin spectrum.

It is plain that, by this method, the constitution of any given toxin may be ascertained, and Ehrlich has constructed, on the basis of these observations, what he terms his toxin spectrum. Minor differences of toxicity and affinity for the antibody have caused him, by the partial saturation method de- scribed, still further to divide toxin into proto-, deutero-, and trito-toxin. His spectra graphically describe the constitution of any given toxic bouillon and trace its deterioration as follows:.
