It is well established that in the rat, rat dimeric IgA is transported from blood to bile across rat liver parenchymal cells via a series of minute smooth membrane-limited vesicles. This pathway is unique from that taken by a number of other ligands, which are internalized for degradation, in that t

β¦ Synopsis
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 for immunoglobulin A on hepatocytes. Binding assays with 125I-immunoglobulin A and membranes from hepatocytes and intestinal cells of the rat display secretory component-dependent binding. Primate intestinal cells also show secretory component-specific binding of immunoglobulin A. Primate liver, on the other hand, does not show immunoglobulin A binding mediated by the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor.
