title: A monoclonal antibody detecting dipeptidylpeptidase IV in human tissue.
abstract: Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV) occurs among others in exocrine epithelia, hepatocytes, renal tubuli, endothelia, and myofibroblasts of man and laboratory animals. Also T mu lymphocytes and their varying differentiated neoplastic counterparts reveal this enzyme activity. The present paper describes a new monoclonal antibody recognizing DPP IV. Additional efforts have been taken to detect the subcellular localization of DPP IV and its isoelectric focusing pattern in different tissue types. The monoclonal antibody anti-DPP IV (clone II-19) shows a reaction pattern indistinguishable from the corresponding enzymehistochemical reaction. These findings were further substantiated by immunoblotting analysis. In line with the results of direct enzyme measurements in different subcellular fractions a considerable portion of the enzyme is localized in the membrane fraction.
