Abstract excerpt
alpha 1-Proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1-PI) augmentation therapy has been licensed for treatment of alpha 1-PI-deficient individuals with pulmonary emphysema. The currently available product is purified from pooled human plasma. To obtain larger amounts of protein free from possible unknown plasma contaminants, human alpha 1-PI has been produced by recombinant DNA. Since wild-type alpha 1-PI is susceptible to...
