Emil Adolf Behring was born on March 15, 1854 at Hansdorf, Deutsch-Eylau as the eldest son of the second marriage of a schoolmaster with a total of 13 children.
It was Behring, however, who announced, in 1913, his production of a mixture of this kind, and subsequent work which modified and refined the mixture originally produced by Behring resulted in the modern methods of immunization which have largely banished diphtheria from the scourges of mankind.
Behring himself saw in his production of this toxin-antitoxin mixture the possibility of the final eradication of diphtheria; and he regarded this part of his efforts as the crowning success of his life's work.

Emil Adolf von Behring was born on March 15, 1854 in Hansdorf, East Prussia (Deutsch-Eylau) as one of thirteen children in a poor family.
Finally von Behring was successful in establishing a method for the immunization of human being against diphtheria and produced the vaccine called "T.A." for diphtheria.

There, with the Japanese bacteriologist Kitasato Shibasaburo, he showed that it was possible to provide an animal with passive immunity against tetanus by injecting it with the blood serum of another animal infected with the disease.
In collaboration with Paul Ehrlich, Behring then applied this technique of antitoxic immunity (a term which he and Kitasato originated) to prevent diphtheria.
Behring taught at Halle (1894) and at Marburg (1895).

 Emil von Behring - Biography
Starting from his observations on the action of iodoform, Behring tried to find whether a disinfection of the living organism might be obtained if animals were injected with material that had been treated with various disinfectants.
In 1890 Behring and S. Kitasato published their discovery that graduated doses of sterilised brothcultures of diphtheria or of tetanus bacilli caused the animals to produce, in their blood, substances which could neutralize the toxins which these bacilli produced (antitoxins).
Earlier in 1898, Behring and F. Wernicke had found that immunity to diphtheria could be produced by the injection into animals of diphtheria toxin neutralized by diphtheria antitoxin, and in 1907 Theobald Smith had suggested that such toxin-antitoxin mixtures might be used to immunize man against this disease.

 The Magic Bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ehrlich travels with his wife Hedwig (Ruth Gordon) to Egypt for recovery, but discovers the properties the body has in regards to immunity, which helps Ehrlich and colleague Emil von Behring (Otto Kruger) in fighting a diphtheria epidemic killing off many children in the country.
The joy is short lived as 38 patients given the treatment die and Dr. Wolfert takes Ehrlich to trial to stop the use of 606, but Dr. Von Bering (who had earlier told Ehrlich to give up his pipe dreams of cure by chemicals) believes that 606 is responsible for the death of syphilis itself.
Ehrlich is exonerated, but the strain and stress from the trial are too much for his ill body and dies shortly thereafter, not before telling his assistants and colleagues about taking risks in regards to medicine.

Behring's most important researches were intimately bound up with the epoch-making work of Pasteur, Koch, Ehrlich, Löffler, Roux, Yersin and others, which led the foundation of our modern knowledge of the immunology of bacterial diseases; but he is, himself, chiefly remembered for his work on diphtheria and on tuberculosis.
During the years 1888-1890 E. Roux and A. Yersin, working at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, had shown that filtrates of diphtheria cultures which contained no bacilli, contained a substance which they called a toxin, that produced, when injected into animals, all the symptoms of diphtheria.
