COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REGULATING NEUTROPHIL MOVEMENT AND NEUTROPHIL NUMBERS IN A BODY REGION
摘要
<p>The disclosure includes compositions including dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPPIV) as well as compositions including an anti-DPPIV antibody operable to bind a DPPIV region structurally homologous to a Dictyostelium autocrine proliferation repressor A (AprA) region. The disclosure includes a method of reducing the number of neutrophils in a body region by administering a DPPIV composition to the body region in an amount and for a time sufficient to suppress neutrophil movement into the body region or enhancing neutrophil movement out of the body region. In particular, it relates to a method of reducing the number of neutrophils in a body region suffering from an acute injury or from a chronic or long-term disease. Further, the disclosure includes a method of increasing the number of neutrophils in a body region by administering an anti-DPPIV antibody operable to bind a DPPIV region structurally homologous to a Dictyostelium AprA region.</p>
