Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcytosis is the process by which molecules or particles are transported across an epithelial barrier. Antibodies can cross such barriers via transcytosis, which involves the antibody being internalized by endocytosis on one side of the barrier and vesicular transport to the other side where the antibody is released. Secretion, dimerization, poly-Ig transport, and vesicular exocytosis are not specific to the movement of antibodies across epithelial barriers.
