title: Cell-surface enzymes and lymphocyte functions.
abstract: Recent studies have provided insights into the enzymatic functions of many surface molecules expressed by monocytes and lymphocytes. These ectoenzymes act as cell-differentiation markers of lymphomonocytic lineages; some of them are also involved in activation, signal-transduction and cell-matrix adhesion processes, as well as in the regulation of biological responses of bioactive peptides.
