Abstract

The absolute rate of the pneumococcus-antipneumococcus reaction predicted by diffusion-theory has been found to agree with the results of protection-experiments. Apparently each molecule of antibody impinging upon the free cell-surface is irreversibly bound. The indifference of the reaction to temperature provides independent confirmation of this conclusion concerning the mechanism of the reaction.
