k Ehrlichs sidechain theory, artwork Ehrlichs sidechain theory, artwork. Coloured 1900 diagram by the German immunologist Paul Ehrlich 18541915 to explain his sidechain theory of immune response. This theory suggested that the chemical structure of cells was responsible for the action of immune recognition. He postulated that living cells had sidechains that could link with a particular toxin like a key in a lock, that under threat a cell grew additional sidechains to bind the toxin, and that these additional sidechains broke off to become the antibodies that circulate through the body.

Ehrlich's side-chain theory, artwork

Ehrlich's side-chain theory, artwork. Coloured 1900 diagram by the German immunologist Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) to explain his side-chain theory of immune response. This theory suggested that the chemical structure of cells was responsible for the action of immune recognition. He postulated that living cells had side-chains that could link with a particular toxin 'like a key in a lock', that under threat a cell grew additional side-chains to bind the toxin, and that these additional side-chains broke off to become the antibodies that circulate through the body.
