Secretory component is a receptor for polymeric immunoglobulins on epithelial cells and hepatocytes that facilitates transport of polymeric immunoglobulins into external secretions. Little is known about the transcellular migration of secretory component-polymeric IgA complexes or the membrane forms

Expression of the secretory component (SC) of IgA was investigated in normal colonic mucosa, in adenomas and in I88 colon carcinomas. Of the carcinoma patients, 149 underwent potentially curative surgical treatment. In particular, it was of interest to determine whether pathohistological or clinical
The source and significance of immunoglobulin A in bile remains controversial. In the rat, and several other species, immunoglobulin A is transported through hepatocytes by a specific receptor, secretory component. In humans, immunohistochemical methods have indicated a distinct lack of receptors fo
## Abstract The mean concentration of IgA in the mesenteric lymph of guinea pigs and rats was 4.5 and 13.4‐fold higher, respectively, than that in their serum. For IgG, IgM, albumin, transferrin and α‐macroglobulin, the mesenteric lymph‐versus‐serum concentration ratios were lower than unity and in
