it is suggested that ( a ) unheated antiserum causes a release of lysosomal enzymes with consequent breakdown of intercellular material , ( b ) this release is due to an indirect action on the lysosome via an increased permeability of the cell membrane , ( c ) hydrocortisone does not affect the antigen-antibody reaction , but inhibits the autolytic changes that normally follow this reaction , possibly by stabilising both the lysosomal and cell membranes .
