title: Suppression of splenic enzyme activities by administration of aminopeptidase N (CD13) inhibitors: relationship between actions in vivo and in vitro.
abstract: The enzymatic changes in murine spleen caused by the administration for 20 successive days of various inhibitors of aminopeptidase N (leucocyte antigen CD13) have been compared. When compared with the control (saline), most of the inhibitors significantly suppressed splenic enzyme activities including those of ectoenzymes. A multivariate study indicated that the in vivo effects of the inhibitors were closely related to their inhibitory actions in vitro.
