…From the Latin ana (no) and phylaxis (protection), meaning "no defense," medically it refers to a type of allergic reaction. It was named in 1902 by French physiologist Charles R. Richet (1850-1935). Richet was conducting research on (immuno)toxins by injecting a toxin extracted from the tentacles of sea anemones into dogs, and discovered that when he injected a small amount of the toxin a second time, the dogs were in a state of hypersensitivity, and showed severe symptoms and died, even though the amount was much smaller than the toxic dose. …

From [Allergies]

…This phenomenon is now called Koch's phenomenon, because the body's reaction differs between primary infection and reinfection, with reinfection showing a stronger resistance. In 1902, while studying sea anemone toxins, Charles R. Richet (1850-1935) and Paul Portier (1866-1962) of France discovered that dogs could be injected with a small amount of toxin at first without dying, but that the dogs became so sensitive to the toxin that even a very small amount of toxin injected thereafter would cause severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, diarrhea, and bloody stool, and they would die. They called this anaphylaxis (ana means opposite, no, and phylaxis means defense or protection, and is a Latin word referring to a state of no defense). …

From [Richer]

...French physiologist. Founder of serum therapy. Born in Paris, he once aspired to be a writer, but studied medicine at the University of Paris, becoming a professor at the university in 1887. He was involved in research into psychiatry and pathology, but was influenced by C. Bernard and others and began to conduct extensive research in the field of physiology, including the secretion of gastric juice and the relationship between respiration and the skin. Furthermore, in 1888, he discovered that animals injected with bacteria developed immunity to them, and in 1890, he performed the first immunotherapy on humans. ...

…ラテン語のana(無)とphylaxis(防御)からなり,〈無防御〉を意味するが,医学的にはアレルギー性反応の一つのタイプをさす。フランスの生理学者リシェCharles R.Richet(1850‐1935)によって1902年に命名された。リシェはイソギンチャクの触手から抽出した毒素をイヌに注射して(免疫)毒素の研究を行っていたが,第2回目の毒素を微量注射したところ,イヌは過敏状態になっていて,中毒量よりはるかに少ない量にもかかわらず,激しい症状を示して死亡することを発見した。…

…これは現在コッホ現象と呼ばれているが,初感染の場合と再感染の場合とでは生体の反応が異なり,再感染では抵抗がたかまった反応を示すためである。1902年,フランスのリシェCharles R.Richet(1850‐1935)とポルティエPaul Portier(1866‐1962)は,イソギンチャクの毒素の研究をしているうちに,初めに少量の毒素をイヌに注射しても死なないが,その結果イヌは毒素に対して非常に過敏になり,その後はごくわずかな量の毒素を注射しても,呼吸困難,下痢,下血などの激しい症状を起こして死亡することを見いだした。そして,これをアナフィラキシーanaphylaxis(anaは反対,無,phylaxisは防御,保護の意で,無防御の状態を指すラテン語)と呼んだ。…
