Abstract
The nasal respiratory mucosa of the rabbit has a leaky epithelium actively transporting polypeptides by a specific transcytosis probably involved in sampling antigens. The transfer displays saturation kinetics and is abolished by metabolic inhibitors, actin filamet and microtubule disassemblers, inhibitors of vesicle fusion, and receptor recycling;it accepts polypeptide-covered but not uncovered nanoparticles.Keywords
