The C-terminal domain of CD13 is responsible for cell infiltration into the inflamed peritoneum. A mixture of equal number of (a) WEHI 78/24 cells transfected with H/M CD13-red and empty vector-green or a mixture of (b) H/M CD13-red and M/H CD13-green were injected into CD13 wild-type (CD13^WT) mice and cell trafficking to the injured peritoneum and peripheral blood was analysed by flow cytometry 48 hr after thioglycollate injection. Data represent average of three independent experiments. Error bars represent mean ± SEM for CD13^WT (n = 5) mice; *P < 0·05, **P < 0·01.
