NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

begelomab

A monoclonal antibody against the human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (dipeptidylpeptidase IV, DPPIV, DPP4; CD26), with potential activity against graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Upon administration, begelomab binds to CD26 expressed on T cells. This inhibits the stimulation of T cells and may prevent GvHD. CD26, a membrane-bound glycoprotein with dipeptidyl peptidase activity, plays a key role in T-cell activation and immune regulation.
