Abstract:
Fluorogenic substrates [Ala-Pro]2-cresyl violet and Ala-Pro-rhodamine 110have been tested for microscopic detection of protease activity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV(DPPIV) in living cells. DPPIV activity is one of the many functions of the multifun

Materials & Methods:
Confocal analysis was performed to localize DPPIV-like activity in living Jurkat and transfected Jurkat cells on a Leica SP 2 AOBS confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems; Mannheim Germany). In case of the use of [Ala-Pro] 2 -cresyl violet fluor
