[Juvenile pernicious anemia with congenital intrinsic factor deficiency and intermediate intrinsic factor secretion in the parents].

A 11 1/2-year-old girl of Turkish origin showed symptoms and signs of pernicious anaemia with low B12 level in blood but normal gastric acid secretion. There were no antibodies to mucosal cells or intrinsic factor. Quantitative determination of intrinsic factor in gastric juice, done by a RIA method, proved absence of the factor. Both parents had normal values for haemoglobin, normal B12-absorption tests and slightly decreased B12 blood levels. The gastric acid secretion was normal in both, but intrinsic factor in the gastric juice was decreased markedly. These findings support the hypothesis that congenital pernicious anaemia, e.g. congenital absence of intrinsic factor, is transmitted by an autosomal recessive trait.

Estimation of intrinsic factor and detection of intrinsic factor antibodies using non-radioactive cyanocobalamin and microbiological assay.

A method employing non-radioactive vitamin B(12) and microbiological assay is described for estimating intrinsic factor in gastric juice and for detecting antibody to intrinsic factor in serum. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between the results by this method and by a modification of the method of Ardeman and Chanarin (1963). During the first hour after gastric stimulation 11 patients with pernicious anaemia secreted between 0 and 240 units of intrinsic factor compared with between 1,600 and 39,000 units in 21 patients with other conditions. The results in three out of four patients with gastric atrophy were higher than those in pernicious anaemia but lower than in other conditions.

A radioisotope dilution assay for unlabelled vitamin B12-intrinsic factor complex employing the binding intrinsic factor antibody: probable evidence for two types of binding antibody.

A new radioisotope dilution assay for vitamin B12-intrinsic factor complex is described. The method is based on the use of the binding type intrinsic factor antibody (the binding reagent), which when combined with the intrinsic factor-vitamin B12 complex (labelled ligand), is quantitatively adsorbed onto zirconium phosphate gel at pH 6.25. The new assay has been shown to provide a measure of intrinsic factor comparable with other intrinsic factor assays, but it has the important advantage of being able to measure the unlabelled vitamin B12-intrinsic factor complex (unlabelled ligand), and will, therefore, be valuable in the study of physiological events in the gastrointestinal tract. During the study, it was found that there is some evidence for a least two types of binding intrinsic factor antibody: One which combines preferentially with the intrinsic factor-vitamin B12 complex and one which combines equally well with this complex or with free intrinsic factor.

Identification of a macromolecular factor in the ileum which binds intrinsic factor and immunologic identification of intrinsic factor in ileal extracts.

The precipitate which resulted when (57)CoB(12) bound to normal human gastric juice was subjected to a 15% concentration of Na(2)SO(4) contained virtually no radioactivity. However, after in vivo incubation of the gastric juice-(57)CoB(12) mixture in the distal ileum of the guinea pig, the dialyzed extract of the washed mucosa contained a fraction of (57)CoB(12) which was precipitated at 15% Na(2)SO(4). In addition, in vitro incubation of gastric juice-(57)CoB(12) with an extract of the ileal mucosa or brush border membranes also resulted in the formation of a 15% Na(2)SO(4)-insoluble fraction which contained (57)CoB(12). The formation of this (57)CoB(12)-containing insoluble fraction did not occur or was diminished by (a) addition of an excess of B(12)-free normal human gastric juice. (b) reducing the incubation pH to 2, (c) incubating the mixture at 4 degrees C, (d) pretreating the ileal extract at 56 degrees C for 30 min, (e) incubating the reaction in sodium EDTA but not calcium EDTA, (f) incubating gastric juice-(57)CoB(12) with an extract of jejunal mucosa. Sephadex gel filtration was used to demonstrate that the factor in the ileal extract which reacted with the gastric juice-(57)CoB(12) filtered through G-100 and G-200 columns in the excluded volume. When the ileal extract obtained after in vivo incubation with gastric juice-(57)CoB(12) was subjected to starch gel electrophoresis one peak of radioactivity remained at the origin and another moved anodally. Eluates of each peak reacted with anti-intrinsic factor antibody indicating that at least the immunologically reacting portion of the intrinsic factor molecule was present in two fractions with different electrophoretic mobility.These studies indicate that immunologically intact intrinsic factor can be extracted from the ileum after in vivo incubation with gastric juice-(57)CoB(12), and that a macromolecular factor is present in the distal ileal mucosa which binds intrinsic factor both in vitro and in vivo, changing its solubility and electrophoretic properties. It is suggested that this ileal binding factor is the previously postulated intestinal receptor for intrinsic factor.

Human intrinsic factor. Its primary structure compared to the primary structure of rat intrinsic factor.

Human intrinsic factor was digested by trypsin and the resulting peptides purified by gelfiltration. Two peptides were sequenced to a total of 61 amino acid residues. Including the sequence for the N-terminal peptide and four cyanogen bromide peptides previously reported, we have now determined a total of 163 amino acid residues, that is a fraction of about 0.40 of the primary structure of human intrinsic factor. The 110 of the 163 residues known of human intrinsic factor are identical to the sequence of rat intrinsic factor.

Purification of intrinsic factor receptor from pig ileum using as affinity medium human intrinsic factor covalently bound to Sepharose.

Intrinsic factor receptor was purified from hog ileum using human intrinsic factor covalently bound to Sepharose. A yield of 49.6% and a specific activity of about 2500 pmol/mg protein were achieved. The purified receptor was very unstable: 24 h of storage or addition of sodium phosphate precipitated it. The association constant of the receptor for the cyano[57Co]cobalamin-intrinsic factor complex was estimated to be 2.1 nM-1. In native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it resolved in two 256 and 320 kDa bands; beta-mercaptoethanol treatment cleared it into four bands corresponding to molecular masses of 107, 81.8, 63.5 and 53.2 kDa. An additional 39.3 kDa band was considered to be an artefact due to the presence of Triton X-114. Isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolved the receptor into two isoproteins isoelectric at pH 4.7 and 5.1. A similar result was obtained in column electrofocusing with the 125I-iodinated receptor. The 125I-labelled receptor did not crossreact with rabbit anti-human intrinsic factor antiserum. The electrophoretic properties of the receptor purified with intrinsic factor covalently bound to Sepharose were compared to those of the receptor purified by the use of the classical cobalamin-affinity medium. It was concluded that a disassembled receptor was produced using the classical method.
