Abstract excerpt

The polymorphism and serum levels of alpha 1-antitrypsin (AT) were studied in asbestosis patients, the control and the workers exposed to mineral flax longer or less than ten years. M1S, M3S, M1Z and M2M2 phenotypes had low concentration of this protein. In the course of contact with mineral flax...
