Issue Date: | 1993 | Publisher: | GUSTAV FISCHER VERLAG | Source: | IMMUNOBIOLOGY, 188(1-2). p. 145-158 | Abstract: | The CD26 activation antigen (Ag) which is expressed on a subpopulation of human T cells has been characterized as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, EC 3.4.14.5). In this paper, we describe the antibody binding profile of CD26/DPP IV, purified from human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The purified molecule binds to the anti-Ta1, anti-1F7 and anti-134-2C2 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), reported to react with cell-bound CD26 Ag. Among unclustered mAb recognizing T cell antigens, two, anti-BT5/9 and anti-TA5.9 were found to react with purified and cell-bound CD26 Ag. The classification of the BT5/9 Ag, the functional properties of the BT5/9+ T cell subset, as well as the in vivo effect of anti-BT5/9 mAb administration, are re-interpreted in the light of its specificity. Applying the anti-TA5.9 mAb in three color FACS analyses, we demonstrated that CD26+bright cells co-express CD45RO but not HLA-DR and CD38. | Notes: | INST TROP MED PRINCE LEOPOLD,PATHOL & IMMUNOL LAB,B-2000 ANTWERP,BELGIUM.
