title: The time-course of appearance and net accumulation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) presented orally to rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri (Richardson).
abstract: 1. A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was used in order to determine horseradish peroxidase (HRP) uptake from the rainbow trout gut. 2. HRP was detected in blood plasma and various tissues within 15 min of oral intubation. 3. The time-course of net accumulation (uptake-degradation) over a 75 min period was recorded. 4. The presence of HRP reached a maximum in the body tissues approximately 45 min after intubation and on a ng/g weight basis the order of accumulation within the tissues was liver greater than spleen = kidney greater than plasma greater than heart. 5. The total organ accumulation (net) was in the order liver greater than plasma greater than kidney greater than spleen greater than heart.
