The everted gut sac technique was used to study adaptive changes in small intestinal handling and uptake of radiolabeled bovine serum albumin and ovalbumin during lactation in rats. Binding and uptake of both proteins by the gut sacs of lactating animals were significantly less, compared to controls (p less than 0.001, after 30 min of incubation). This change was reversible after lactation ceased. The differences could not be explained by oral immunization since there were no specific antibodies found in sera, mucosal extracts, or breast milk; prior exposure to the protein did not alter the observed differences. No differences in mucosal breakdown of bovine serum albumin could be demonstrated by precipitation with trichloroacetic acid (10%); an increase in breakdown of ovalbumin in the lactating animals was shown under the same conditions. The injection of prolactin produced differences in bovine serum albumin binding and uptake similar to the ones observed in the lactating group (p less than 0.01, after 30 min of incubation, compared to solvent-injected controls). Since food protein antigen binding, breakdown and uptake are functions of the local intestinal host defense, these findings suggest that there are adaptive changes of the gut mucosal barrier during lactation which decrease the transfer of dietary antigens from mother to infant. The adaptation of the maternal intestinal host defense was shown to be influenced by prolactin.
