Antigenic proteins may be absorbed intact. We report here results from in vivo experiments in mice showing that the prior feeding of protein antigen may reduce the subsequent absorption of that antigen without altering its elimination from the circulation. This may be a function of local immunity. We have also shown that the same feeding regime can paradoxically induce a state of systemic tolerance and suggest that the two phenomena contribute to the safe handling of these antigens.
抗原性蛋白质可能会完整地被吸收。我们在此报告在小鼠体内进行的实验结果,这些结果表明,预先喂食蛋白质抗原可能会减少该抗原随后的吸收,而不会改变其从循环系统中的清除。这可能是局部免疫的一种作用。我们还表明,相同的喂食方式可能会反常地诱导全身耐受状态,并认为这两种现象有助于安全处理这些抗原。
