Ehrlich's theory
Ehrlich's theory (air-liks) n. an early theory of antibody production, postulating that receptor groups with side chains were carried on cells and combined with antigens. The receptors were then thrown off the cell and became antibodies in the circulation. [ P. Ehrlich (1854–1915), German bacteriologist]
