Sentences with AMBOCEPTOR (5)
The thermostabile substance, or _amboceptor_, as it is generally called, has in itself no destructive action on the bacteria; but in some way so alters them that they can be acted on by the thermolabile substance called _complement_ whose action is destructive.
The amount of amboceptor may increase in the course of infection and its formation stimulated, the amount of complement remains unchanged.
The action of the amboceptor is specific, that is, directed against a single species of bacterium only; the destructive power of the blood may be very great against a single bacterium species and have no effect on others.
Immune body or amboceptor is the name given to a substance present in the serum of an infected animal that has successfully resisted inoculation with some particular micro-organism, and which possesses the power of linking the complement normally present in the serum to bacteria of the species used as antigen in such a manner that the micro-organisms are rendered innocuous, and ultimately destroyed.
Thus, for the hæmolysis of foreign red blood corpuscles, a specific immune body (_amboceptor or substance sensibilatrice_) not destroyed by moderate heating, and a thermolabile complement (_alexin_) are necessary.
