To assess the mechanisms for movement of antigenically intact macromolecules across small intestinal mucosa, transport kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) uptake and the effect of neural and metabolic inhibition were examined in stripped short-circuited rat jejunum. The mucosa was exposed to BSA, and, after a 50-min equilibration, mucosal-to-serosal movement of immunologically intact BSA was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and total BSA by radiolabeled 125I-BSA. Intact BSA uptake demonstrated saturable kinetics. Immunologically intact BSA crossed the intestinal mucosa as 4.5% of total 125I-BSA flux. Colchicine and 4 degrees C significantly reduced uptake of immunologically intact BSA. NaF significantly reduced uptake of immunologically intact BSA and 125I-BSA. Treatment with tetrodotoxin significantly reduced intact BSA uptake, but did not significantly alter total BSA uptake. The muscarinic cholinoceptor antagonist atropine also significantly inhibited transport of intact BSA, whereas the nicotinic cholinoceptor antagonist hexamethonium had no effect. These findings indicate that transport of intact macromolecules across small intestinal mucosa is a saturable energy-dependent process that utilizes the microtubular network and is regulated by the enteric nervous system primarily through cholinergic nerves acting on muscarinic receptors.

The effects of peptic-tiyptic (PT) digests of prolamins derived from several cereals on differentiated CaCo-2 cells were studied on the nineteenth day of culture. Cell viability was determined by using the MTT assay and the colony-forming ability method. The metabolic consequences of peptide exposure were evaluated by measuring RNA, protein and glycoprotein synthesis. While PT digests from bovine serum albumin and durum wheat did not exert any effects, those derived from bread wheat, barley, rye and oats caused a dramatic inhibitory effect on metabolic synthesis and, when measured by using the colony-forming technique, a decrease in cell viability. The MTT assay did not indicate any changes in cell viability. These observations support the hypothesis that, although prolamin-derived peptides from these cereals do not exert an immediate cytotoxic effect, they are responsible for cell damage by impairment of metabolic processes.

We recently described an artificial substrate system which could be used to optimize labeling parameters in EM immunocytochemistry (ICC). The system utilizes blocks of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine serum albumin (BSA) into which an antigen is incorporated by a soaking procedure. The resulting antigen impregnated blocks can then be fixed and embedded as if they are pieces of tissue and the effects of fixation, embedding and other parameters on the ability of incorporated antigen to be immunocyto-chemically labeled can then be assessed. In developing this system further, we discovered that the BSA substrate can also be dried and then sectioned for immunolabeling with or without prior chemical fixation and without exposing the antigen to embedding reagents. The effects of fixation and embedding protocols can thus be evaluated separately.
