For the investigation of cellular individuality in the higher animals the red blood corpuscle naturally suggests itself, for many reasons, as the cell most suitable for experimental study, and it was with this cell that Bordet (1898) carried out his pioneer work in the application of the methods of immunity to the study of the specificity of the animal cell. He showed that the immunisation of an animal with the red cells from an animal of a different species leads to the formation of antibodies (haemolysins and haemagglutinins) in the blood of the immunised animal, and that these antibodies are to a large extent specific, in that they act much more powerfully on the red blood corpuscles of animals of the species whose blood has been used for the immunisation than on those of other species—thus showing that the red cell possesses a marked and easily demonstrable “ species specificity.”
