Five of the thirty-eight reports were written by Ehrlich and many of the remainder were written in collaboration with Julius Morgenroth (1871-1924) and Hans Sachs (1877-1945), two of his key assistants. Included are important contributions on the theory of lysin action, studies on hemolysins and researches into the mechanism of hemolytic reactions, as well as immunological studies of toxins and antitoxins. Ehrlich shared the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine with Elie Mechnikov ... in 1908 for their work on immunity."
