~ &ACKENZIE, DD s. Selective uptake of immunoglobdins by the proximal intestine of suckling rats. Am. J. Physiol. 223 (6): 1286-1295. 1972.-Radioiodinated(1251 and 1311) sheep IgGl and IgG2 and rat IgG were used to study the mechanism of selective absorption of immunoglobulins by the intestine of suckling rats. Selective absorption of IgG2 occurred when a mixture of IgG 1 and IgG2 was placed in the proximal intestine isolated in vivo from the distal intestine by a ligature. Absorption of both proteins was smaller and equal when the mixture was placed in the distal intestine. The uptake in vitro of IgG2 and rat IgG by everted sacs of proximal intestine varied with their concentration in the medium so that with each increase in concentration there was a proportionally smaller increase in uptake. Rat IgG inhibited the uptake of IgG2. The uptake of IgGl was smaller than that of either IgG2 or rat IgG. Uptake of all three pro-teins by distal sacs was similar and proportional to their concentration in the medium. The results, although not excluding other possibilities, are consistent with the presence of specific receptor sites on the epithelial cells of the proximal intestine which have an affinity for immunoglobulins in the order rat IgG> sheep IgGz> sheep IgGr. immunoglobulin absorption; immunoglobulin adsorption; specific receptors for immunoglobulin; immunoglobulin uptake by distal intestine; rat IgG; sheep IgGTRANSFER OF PROTEINS, particularly immunoglobulins of the IgG class, from the maternal circulation to that of the young occurs in many mammalian species (5). The manner by which this is accomplished varies markedly between species. Thus, in man IgG is transferred in utero across the placenta(14-16); rabbits and guinea pigs absorb IgG of maternal origin through the yolk sac endoderm from the uterine cavity (8, 26, 28); rats and mice acquire some immunoglobulins in utero by way of the yolk sac endoderm(6, 18), but also receive some after birth by selectively absorbing IgG from the milk (7, 18, 23, 33-35); the colostrum of ruminants contains very high concentrations of IgG (36, 37), which is absorbed by the newborn during the 1st day after birth (30, 37). Whether there is an underlying mechanism common to all these systems of protein transfer is not known, since in any one system the process is poorly understood. It is known from the work of Brambell and his colleagues (4, 5) that in the rat homologous IgG and IgG from a number of other species are transferred across the intestine. Unknown properties of the Fc fragment of the mmunoglobulin probably determine whether any par-
