		Wrights afdeling was vooral geïnteresseerd in één deel van het bloed, de witte bloedcellen oftewel fagocyten.
		Wright was er lang van overtuigd dat er in het bloed van deze mensen een speciale stof aanwezig was, die de fagocyten ertoe aanzette bacteriën aan te vallen en in te slikken.
		Op het ogenblik dat Wrights eenheid in Boulogne verbleef, hadden artsen in het algemeen en legerartsen in het bijzonder, een overtuigd geloof in chemische antiseptica om wonden te behandelen.

	Almroth Wright Summary
		One of the founders of immunology, Almroth Wright was born in the village of Middleton Tyas, in Yorkshire, England.
		Wright was highly respected by his staff for his contagious enthusiasm and, after long days in the laboratory, he often gathered with his colleagues for late-night discussions over tea.
		Wright was a consistent advocate for vaccine and inoculation therapies, and at the onset of World War I convinced the British military to inoculate all troops against typhus.

		In many of his researches Wright had to develop new techniques – for example in the measurement of phagocytosis, bactericidal power and opsonic index, and in the modification of Widal's test – and he can be said to have introduced micro-methods to bacteriology.
		Wright had made it a condition of his acceptance that the equipment of the laboratories should be the best available, but the committee only found it necessary to spend £100 – although later they spent a further £100 on structural alterations to the museum, of which the laboratories formed a part.
		Wright developed this apparatus for the collection of clotted specimens of capillary blood, and in the first part of this century it enjoyed widespread use.

		Almroth Wright (1861-1947) is usually remembered as the originator of vaccination against typhoid but his earlier work was mainly in physiology.
		Wright reasoned that the Widal test could be applied to Malta fever, using suspensions of Brucella, and he developed the test successfully.
		Wright's department consisted of two rooms which were badly lit, ill-equipped and shaken every few minutes by the underground trains, making microscopy almost impossible.

		He worked with Almroth Wright, a major advocate of vaccines who developed vaccines for many microbial diseases and was keenly interested in the immune system.
		During World War I, Fleming was one of Wright's primary assistants in a major effort to combat the rampant infections and septicemia in British soldiers' wounds.
		Wright and Fleming argued conversely that the leukocytes of the immune system were the body's most important line of defense against infection and that most antiseptics killed leukocytes more rapidly than they killed bacteria.

		Years later, the bursa of Fabricius in chickens and the thymus gland in mammals were shown to be sites where immature lymphoid cells acquired the capacity to function in humoral and cellular limbs of the immune response.

		Wright, as a member of the India Plague Commission, was inoculating 3,000 soldiers in India.
		Sir Almroth's wholesale prevention of disease contained an inherent danger to humanity which old Dr. Robert Koch, who discovered that germs actually cause disease and therefore that the destruction of germs would prevent disease, was quick to see.
		As far back as 1903, Koch warned doctors to beware typhoid carriers who show no signs of the disease, but carry in their gall bladders or intestines the germs with which others may be infected.

		Their opponents, called 'humoralists', disagreed and argued instead that the chief weapons of the immune system were soluble molecules called antibodies.
		As it turned out, the truth lies in the middle, a possibility that was first proposed by Wright and Douglas in 1903 and popularized by George Bernard Shaw in the preface to his play The Doctor's Dilemma:
		Following Sir Almroth Wright's suggestion, IgG and other phagocytosis-stimulating "sauces" are still referred to as opsonins.

		Alison also mentions that the only disagreement Almroth Wright and Fleming ever had was over a statement that Fleming wanted to include in his original paper stating that penicillin may be useful for infections in humans.
