Additional info: 202-36 Reacts with human CD26 (Dipeptidyl peptidase IV), a 110 kDa protein which occurs in the cell membrane of T-lymphocyte and is upregulated after activation. CD26 is also present on endothelial cells and also expressed on activated B-cells and natural killer cells and abundantly on epithelia. CD26 is implicated in a variety of biological functions including T-cell activation, cell adhesion with extracellular matrix such as fibronectin or collagens, and in HIV infection. Crosslinking of CD26 using this antibody dramatically enhances the anti-CD3-induced IL-2 production. In Western blotting, this mAb reacts with only glycosylated CD26, but not with deglycosylated froms. It does not prevent ADA binding to CD26. The mAb was clustered at the VIth WLDA.
