Summary A plasma membrane glycoprotein (gp110) involved in cellular adhesion was studied in Wistar and Fischer rats. For quantitative analysis of the gp110 molecule a sandwich-ELISA was used. High quantities of gp110 were found especially in the liver, small intestine, submandibular gland and lung. The distribution and localization of the gp110 were investigated by immunohistochemistry utilizing soluble complexes of alkaline phosphatase and monoclonal anti-alkaline phosphatase antibodies. Immuno-reactivity was present in plasma membranes of vascular endothelial cells of some organs. Furthermore, immuno-staining also occurred in plasma membranes of lymphocytes, exocrine gland cells, excretory duct cells, hepatocytes, epithelial cells of the small intestine, kidney and vesicular gland and in the cytoplasm of renal connecting and collecting duct cells. The localization of gp110 in the luminal domain of the plasma membrane at many sites suggests that this glycoprotein is also involved in processes distinct from cell adhesion.
