Abstract excerpt
CD26 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with dipeptidyl peptidase (DPPIV) activity, constitutively expressed in different cell types and contributing to T-cell activation by acting as costimulatory molecule. Although data suggest an important role for CD26 within the immune system, the physiologic function of this molecule is still unknown. To investigate the role of CD26 in vivo we have produced transgenic...
