ABSTRACT
This report describes an immunoferritin labeling study of mouse H-2 histocompatibility antigens on epithelial cells dissociated from the small intestine by EDTA and trypsin. Before cell dissociation, the intestine was prefixed in paraformaldehyde or periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde in order to preserve the shape of the cells and to immobilize H-2 antigens in their native positions. The results demonstrated the presence of H-2 antigens on the lateral and basal cell membranes at about the same high density that was observed at the surface of mouse monocytes. No H-2 antigens could be detected at the apical surface of dissociated or undissociated epithelial cells. It is unlikely that the fuzzy coat masked H-2 antigens at the apical surface because it was essentially absent from the apical membranes of dissociated cells. These observations extend our knowledge of the cellular distribution of transplantation antigens, and provide further evidence of a discontinuity in the expression of membrane components at the junctional complex of epithelial cells.
