The paper presents the history of the toxin-antitoxin theory. It covers the working hypotheses of the pathological-anatomical and clinical research (Virchow and Oertel), the experimental evidence of the diphtheria toxin by Roux and Yersin, up to the discovery of the antitoxin effect by Behring. The differences between an experimental based theory and the speculative conceptions of that time are discussed.
