Abstract:SUMMARY1. The plasma volume in rats aged 15-16 days was measured by dilution analysis using homologous, 1251-labelled immunoglobulin G. A mean plasma volume of 5-53 ml./100 g and a mean blood volume of 8-01 ml./100 g were obtained.2. After the injection of labelled immunoglobulin G into the heart, homogenates of various abdominal organs and of the carcass were prepared. Labelled immunoglobulin G left the vascular compartment at a rate of about 9-10 %/hr over a 3 hr period. About 11 % of the labelled immunoglob… Show more
“…Labelled rat IgG leaves the vascular compartment at about 9-10 %/hr (Morris & Morris, 1976). The input of intact rat IgG by the enterocytes, after the injection of 1 mg of labelled rat IgG into the proximal small intestine, greatly exceeds this removal rate.…”

“…We have suggested, based on our previous studies (Morris & Morris, 1976& Morris, , 1977, that there may be two pathways for homologous IgG transport through proximal enterocytes: one route involving receptors and affording complete protection to the molecule and another route with no protection, leading to the release of small molecular weight fragments into the circulation. The experiments reported in this paper were designed to compare the uptake and transmission of homologous and heterologous immunoglobulins and other protein molecules by proximal enterocytes.…”

“…Intact homologous immunoglobulin G (IgG) is transmitted to the circulation through the enterocytes of the proximal region of the small intestine of suckling rats (Morris & Morris, 1976). The passage of intact molecules through the cells is said to involve attachment to receptors and incorporation within a system of tubular and coated vesicles, leading to the eventual discharge of antibody into the intercellular spaces (Waldmann & Jones, 1973;Rodewald, 1973).…”
SUMMARY1. Proximal enterocytes transmitted intact immunoglobulin G (IgG) preferentially in the order rat, human, sheep and bovine; the removal from the vascular compartment of these transmitted molecules occurred at about the same rate.

“…The transmission of intact immunoglobulin G (JgG) to the circulation of young rats, occurs in the proximal region of the small intestine. The distal region (ileum) does not transmit intact IgG (for references see Morris & Morris, 1976). It has been suggested that the passage of intact IgG through the proximal enterocytes involves attachment to receptors and that such attachment affords protection to the IgG molecules and is pH-dependent.…”

“…Walker et al (89) showed that in rats the absorption of antibodies was the same in jejunum and ileum. However, Morris and Morris (56) found that the proximal small intestine of rats is the site of antibody permeation. A specific mechanism of uptake and transport of maternal immunoglobulins has been demonstrated only in rats (72,92).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
