摘要

The lymphocytes of the rat thymus can be grossly differentiated by their cell membrane-bound proteinases. Subcapsular thymocytes lack aminopeptidase A (APA) and AMP and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT). Cortical thymocytes show a high activity of APA but no APM and no GGT. Medullar thymocytes possess a high GGT and APM activity but are free of APA. Under Mg deficiency, the APA-negative subcapsular thymocytes are reduced. In lymphoma and beginning lymphoma, APA, APM and GGT are absent. In lymphoma, the alkaline phosphatase activity is increased. Differences are found for dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV). In some lymphoma, its activity is reduced, in others the DPP IV activity is increased.
