Abstract:
We studied the distribution of vitamin B12 R binder in various normal human tissues by use of an immunoperoxidase technique. Positive staining for R binder was observed in almost all glandular epithelia of digestive system, bronchial glands, renal proximal tubules, prostate, uterus, Fallopian tube, mammary gland, and sweat glands. The distribution of R binder was similar to that of lactoferrin and secretory component. These findings support the hypothesis that R binder plays a role in the local defense mechanism.
