Abstract
The distributions of two endocytosed radiolabelled ligands (polymeric immunoglobulin A and asialofetuin) in rat liver endocytic compartments were investigated by using rapid subcellular fractionation of post-mitochondrial supernatants on vertical density gradients of Ficoll or Nycodenz. Two endocytic compartments were identified, both ligands being initially associated with a light endocytic-vesicle fraction on Ficoll gradients, asialofetuin then accumulating in denser endosomes before transfer to lysosomes for degradation.Entities:
