Abstract
The variables involved in the initiation and operation of the human immune system are considered. It is shown that the number of variations associated with disease and other detrimental conditions exceeds the number of lymphocyte cells available for control of these conditions. It is proposed that the immune system functions by changes in the ionic strength of metabolic fluids which in turn control the formation and stability of cell membranes. The application of these conditions to the control of bacterial, virus particle and other antigens is detailed. Observations supporting the proposals are presented.
