Immunologic and absorptive tests in celiac disease: can they replace intestinal biopsies?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV, CD26), a serine protease with broad tissue distribution and known activity in serum, participates in T cell activation and promotes a Th1 cytokine response, a function in part attributable to its enzymatic activity. We hypothesized that the activity of DP IV in serum and expre...
