Regulation of polymeric immunoglobulin A receptor messenger ribonucleic acid expression in rodent uteri: effect of sex hormones
Abstract
Previously we have shown that estradiol stimulates the production of secretory component, the external domain of the polymeric immunoglobulin A (IgA) receptor (pIgR) responsible for transporting IgA from tissues into secretions. In the present study, levels of pIgR messenger RNA (mRNA) in uterine tissues of rats were correlated with pIgR expression in epithelial cells and secretory component in uterine secretions. Analysis of uterine pIgR mRNA …
