RESUMO
Biliary transport of rat immunoglobulin was studied by perfusion of isolated rat liver with blood containing radiolabeled immunoglobulin. Transport to bile was selective for polymeric IgA. Between 15 and 27% of polymeric IgA was transported from blood to bile during a 210-min perfusion period, and approximately 60% of the IgA transported to bile bore secretory component. Small quantities of IgM (0.12%) were transported; transport of IgG2 alpha, IgE, or monomeric IgA was not detected. Purification of radiolabeled polymeric IgA by affinity chromatography on human secretory component-Sepharose yielded a fraction that was transported more efficiently (i.e., up to 40% transported). In contrast, secretory IgA (colostral or biliary) was transported 1/25th to 1/12th as well as polymeric IgA myeloma protein. Complexes of 125I-labeled secretory component and polymeric IgA formed in vitro were transported poorly (0.1%) compared to polymeric IgA (26%). It was concluded that biliary transport of polymeric IgA requires combination of it with secretory component in the liver. In support of this hypothesis, rabbit IgG anti-rat secretory component antibodies were also transported to bile but normal rabbit IgG was not.
