Polycationic copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinylamine (10:0.77) were prepared, and 125I-labelled with either Bolton-Hunter reagent or methyl 3,5-di-[125I]iodohydroxybenzimidate. The rate of pinocytic capture of the copolymer was compared with that of 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone, using rat visceral yolk sacs and rat macrophages cultured in vitro as test systems. Whereas polyvinylpyrrolidone was captured entirely by non-adsorptive pinocytosis, the cationic derivative was captured more efficiently, probably because it adsorbs to the cell surface. Copolymer of Mr 120 000 was internalized by macrophages somewhat more rapidly than copolymer of Mr 46 000, but was excluded from the yolk sac.
