Abstract excerpt
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AT) is one of several alpha-globulins which have been shown to be inhibitors of human peripheral blood monocyte TNF secretion in vitro. AT deficiency states exist, within which individuals of either the PiSS or PiZZ phenotype have reduced hepatocyte and mononuclear phagocyte AT secretion when compared to normal PiMM subjects. Here we have compared the capacity of peripheral blood monocytes of...
