The capacity of mucosal IgA Abs to serve as an excretory immune system in vivo was investigated. Mice expressing a transgenic TCR were immunized intragastrically with the cognate Ag to elicit a vigorous mucosal IgA Ab response. Soon after i.v. challenge, Ag was detected within the epithelial cells of the small intestinal crypts and to a lesser degree within the epithelial cells higher up the villi, paralleling the gradient in expression of the polymeric Ig receptor and the transport of its ligand, oligomeric IgA. Uptake of Ag into the epithelial cells occurred only from the basolateral aspect and only when Ag complexed to IgA Ab could be present in the lamina propria. The results support the concept that local IgA Abs can excrete Ags from the body by transporting them directly through mucosal epithelial cells, using the same mechanism that transports free IgA into the mucosal secretions.
