Uptake of carcinoembryonic antigen from the circulation of the mouse is inhibited by treatment of the animal with Triton WR1339, but not by asialo-fetuin. Uptake of asialo-carcinoembryonic antigen is inhibited by asialo-fetuin, but not by Triton WR1339. These results reflect the different mechanisms of uptake of the glycoproteins. The presence or absence of sialic acid does not seem to be important in governing Kupffer-cell uptake, but when terminal galactoses are exposed on a glycoprotein, uptake by hepatocytes is preferred. Kupffer-cell uptake of carcinoembryonic antigen is not due to the formation of high-molecular-weight complexes in the blood stream. The effect of asialo-fetuin and Triton WR1339 on the biliary excretion of carcinoembryonic antigen and asialo-carcinoembryonic antigen is discussed.
用曲拉通WR1339处理小鼠可抑制其循环系统中癌胚抗原的摄取,但脱唾液酸胎球蛋白无此作用。脱唾液酸癌胚抗原的摄取可被脱唾液酸胎球蛋白抑制,但不受曲拉通WR1339影响。这些结果反映了糖蛋白摄取的不同机制。唾液酸的存在与否似乎对库普弗细胞的摄取并不重要,但当糖蛋白上的末端半乳糖暴露时,肝细胞更倾向于摄取。库普弗细胞对癌胚抗原的摄取并非由于血流中形成高分子量复合物所致。文中还讨论了脱唾液酸胎球蛋白和曲拉通WR1339对癌胚抗原和脱唾液酸癌胚抗原胆汁排泄的影响。
