Resident cardiac immune cells and expression of the ectonucleotidase enzymes CD39 and CD73 after ischemic injury.
BACKGROUND: The ectoenzymes CD39 and CD73 are expressed by a broad range of immune cells and promote the extracellular degradation of nucleotides to anti-inflammatory adenosine. This study explored the abundance of CD73 and CD39 on circulating and resident cardiac leukocytes and coronary endothelial...
