Abstract
Three factors binding vitamin B12 are detected in human gastric juice by autoradiographs of immunoelectrophoresis. Binder 1 is present only in gastric juice and gastric mucosa extract and corresponds to intrinsic factor. Binder 2 is present also in other excretions such as bile, lactoserum, saliva, in serum and leucocyte extracts. Binder 3 present in saliva and gastric juice in lower quantity than binder 2, seems derived from this last one by attachment of sialic acid molecules.
