Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Secretory IgA (sIgA) and monomeric IgA (mIgA) were purified from normal rat bile, and their role in the gastrointestinal tract was investigated. Biliary sIgA has a molecular weight of approximately 400,000 daltons and a sedimentation constant of 11.7S. Thus, sIgA obtained from rat bile had physicochemical properties similar to those reported for sIgA in other secretions, and probably consists of L-chains, alpha-chains and secretory component. After in vitro incubation with trypsin or intestinal fluid, sIgA remained intact, whereas mIgA was hydrolyzed. Rats challenged repeatedly with dinitrophenylated bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA) had specific IgA antibody against DNP in the bile and feces as measured by a radioimmunoassay using [3H]-DNP-lysine. Our results demonstrate a possibility that biliary sIgA, not mIgA, has an important role which inhibits the absorption of foreign antigen from intestine.
