Absorption of vitamin B12-Co57, measured by urinary excretion, was potentiated to a greater extent by intrinsic factor preparations from hogs than from humans, in patients with perniciuos anemia. This difference was not found in post-gastrectomy patients. An antibody to human intrinsic factor is postulated to be present in cells of intestinal villi in pernicious anemia.
