Mice were induced to produce IgA antibodies against ferritin after oral immunization. Such antibodies were detected by immunofluorescence in plasma cells in the intestinal mucosa as well as in secretory sites located elsewhere, such as the lactating mammary gland, salivary gland, and respiratory tract. The observation suggested that cells immunized locally via the gut could home to distant secretory sites. To confirm this hypothesis, lymphocyte transfer studies were done with mesenteric node (MN) versus peripheral node (PN) cells from orally immunized donors into nonimmunized recipients. IgA anti-ferritin cells from MN homed to exocrine targets, whereas IgM and IgG anti-ferritin cells homed to PN. The findings overall support the concept of a generalized and interrelated secretory immune system.
