Pathologists and physiologists are agreed that the capillary endothelium is of high importance in the animal economy, though it is admitted that its functions are involved in much obscurity. With the immunologist, the primary difficulty is lack of physiological data which would enable him to start with the normal functions and to interpret abnormalities in the light of these. And it is obviously far from easy to plan experiments providing the sort of information the immunologist wants about the functions of endothelium as part of a living mechanism, in which parenchymatous cells, body fluids, and endothelial channels jointly participate.
