SURFACE TENSION OF SERUM OF THE SENSITIZED GUINEA PIG : II. SURFACE TENSION CHANGES IN THE BLOOD IN ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK.

The primary change in surface tension of serum incident to anaphylactic shock is probably due to a lowering of the surface tension of the serum by the addition of the antigen serum. But this may be followed by further decrease or by an increase depending on the intensity and duration of certain secondary tissue changes.
