Abstract
The transport of immunoglobulin and ferritin across the intestinal mucosa of adult rats provides an excellent model for transcellular protein transport study. Intestinal uptake and transcellular transport have been extensively studied in the neonatal rat, but not to such an extent in the adult rat. The transport of 125I labelled bovine immunoglobulin G and ferritin was studied in 100 days old rats using intestinally administered proteins. Antigen was estimated in the tissues by reacting extracts against specific immune antiserum prepared in rats, and visualization studies were carried out by fluorescence microscopy and direct deposition autoradiography at electron microscopic level. From these studies, it can be seen that these proteins are taken up by the intestinal cells and transported, antigenically intact, across the barriers to the body organs.
