In other diseases the state of being immune may be only short lived. Lasting immunity is usually af- forded by one attack of such diseases as small- pox, scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever or plague. While in pneumonia, diphtheria, cholera, etc. , the protection afforded us by one attack is often very brief, and seems rather to predispose to other attacks. In artificial immunity, Metchnikoff teaches 53 BACTERIOLOGY IN A NUTSHELL. that when antitoxins are injected into a subject, they stimula...te the phagocytes into greater ac- tivity and also lend to them greater power for destruction and absorption of pathogenic bac- teria and of their toxins. The substance opsonin, is said by some authorities to act as an ally to the phagocytes by rendering them easier of digestion and of absorption. While opsonin is always normally present in the blood, it is now believed by many scientists to be increased in both acquired and artificial im- munity and is of great assistance to the action of the phagocytes, not only by rendering them easier to destroy, but by attracting them toward their destroyers, the phagocytes.
