Hypothesis: A Possible Relationship Between Blood Clotting and the Recognition by the Body of Foreign Particles

  • Chapter
The Reticuloendothelial System and Immune Phenomena

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 15))

Abstract

The ability of cells to recognize other cells or particles is a general and fundamental problem in biology. It is basic to the survival of protozoa which must differentiate food from non-food and equally basic to the multicellular animal whose integrity depends upon the ability of its component cells to recognize and respond to cells of a similar or dissimilar type (1,2). Almost without exception when foreign particles enter the mammalian blood stream they are recognized and ultimately ingested by phagocytic cells. This is true whether the particles are parasites which enter the body accidentally, or vaccines or test materials which are introduced deliberately. The ability to distinguish aged, damaged or effete isologous cells from normal cells and the ability to recognize, or not, normal as opposed to neoplastic cells is undoubtedly part of the same phenomenon.
