Fine structure histochemical study of the distribution of dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV) in the meningeal lamellae of the rat

Experientia volume 44, pages 708–710 (1988)Cite this article

Summary

DPP IV was localized in the meningeal lamellae of the spinal cord sheaths of the rat by light and electron microscopy. A membrane-bound reaction product of DPP IV was found in the internal, intermediate and external meningeal lamellae which delineated the CSF-filled meningeal spaces. The cells of the marginal glia displayed heterogeneous localization of the reaction product for DPP IV. DPP IV distribution in the spinal cord sheaths suggests its possible participation in the interactions of the meningeal cells with the neuropeptides in cerebrospinal fluid.
