I call opsonin, goes on in the system by ups and downs -- Nature being always rhythmical, you know -- and that what the inoculation does is to stimulate the ups or downs, as the case may be.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma] Reference

The "opsonin," or "relish," is something exuded into or produced in the blood fluid when the attacking microbe arrives.    From Wordnik.com.  [More Science From an Easy Chair] Reference

In the absence of the relish (the Greek word for it used by Sir Almroth Wright, its discoverer, is "opsonin"), the eater-cells are sluggish -- too sluggish -- in their work.    From Wordnik.com.  [More Science From an Easy Chair] Reference

Because of this characteristic, it has been called opsonin by Wright and bacteriotropin by Neufeld.    From Wordnik.com.  [Ilya Mechnikov - Nobel Lecture] Reference

In the method for demonstrating opsonin about to be described, a comparison is made between the opsonic "power" of the pooled serum and the specific serum.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Elements of Bacteriological Technique A Laboratory Guide for Medical, Dental, and Technical Students.

Wright, who has been largely responsible for developing this argument, insists on the subordinate role of the white corpuscles that follow blindly the opsonin lead.    From Wordnik.com.  [Ilya Mechnikov - Nobel Lecture] Reference

This opsonin of normal serum is very labile, being rapidly destroyed at 55° C.; that is, a serum heated at this temperature has practically no greater effect in aiding phagocytosis than normal salt solution has.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

The three most important of the antibodies referred to which can be demonstrated with a certain amount of facility are agglutinin, opsonin and bacteriolysin; and the methods of testing for these bodies will now be considered.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Elements of Bacteriological Technique A Laboratory Guide for Medical, Dental, and Technical Students.

Our friend Ridgeon will be gratified to hear that I have tried his opsonin treatment on little Prince Henry with complete success.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma] Reference

But outside myself and the handful of men I am training at St Anne's, there is nobody as yet who has mastered the opsonin treatment.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma] Reference

Send a drop of the patient's blood to the laboratory at St. Anne's; and in fifteen minutes I'll give you his opsonin index in figures.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma] Reference

The opsonin is simple rot, as any capable surgeon can tell you; but we're all delighted to see your personal qualities officially recognized.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma] Reference

When subsequently (or possibly concurrently in small quantity) living microbes of the same disease enter the blood, the opsonin is ready for them.    From Wordnik.com.  [More Science From an Easy Chair] Reference

The dead microbes answer this purpose; they excite the production of the opsonin appropriate to them and yet are not themselves dangerous, since they are dead.    From Wordnik.com.  [More Science From an Easy Chair] Reference

By the time this preface is in print the kaleidoscope may have had another shake; and opsonin may have gone the way of phlogiston at the hands of its own restless discoverer.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma: Preface on Doctors] Reference

But though a few doctors have now learnt the danger of inoculating without any reference to the patient's "opsonic index" at the moment of inoculation, and though those other doctors who are denouncing the danger as imaginary and opsonin as a craze or a fad, obviously do so because it involves an operation which they have neither the means nor the knowledge to perform, there is still no grasp of the economic change in the situation.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Doctor's Dilemma: Preface on Doctors] Reference
