Relation of the adrenal cortex to immunizing mechanisms.

Experimental evidence is available to support the general conclusion that pituitary-adrenocortical secretion may have an important regulatory role in immunizing mechanisms, including antigen-antibody relationships and the state of tonus of the ground substance of the mesenchyme. The specific contributions of other processes affected by pituitary-adrenocortical secretion to immunizing mechanisms remain to be elucidated.
