An antibody raised against a pathogenic serpin variant induces mutant-like behaviour in the wild-type protein. [PDF]

, 2015
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to a transient intermediate may act as a catalyst for the corresponding reaction; here we show this principle can extend on a macro-molecular scale to the induction of mutant-like oligomerisation in a wild-type ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2001
α-1 antitrypsin is synthesised in the liver and protects lung alveolar tissues from destruction by neutrophil elastase. α-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a common autosomal recessive condition (1:1600 to 1:1800) in which liver disease results from retention of abnormal polymerised α-1 antitrypsin in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes, and emphysema ...

Alpha-1-antitrypsin: a novel human high temperature requirement protease A1 (HTRA1) substrate in human placental tissue. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The human serine protease high temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) is highly expressed in the placental tissue, especially in the last trimester of gestation. This suggests that HTRA1 is involved in placental formation and function.

Alpha 1 Antitrypsin is an Inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2-Priming Protease TMPRSS2

bioRxiv, 2020
Host proteases have been suggested to be crucial for dissemination of MERS, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses, but the relative contribution of membrane versus intracellular proteases remains controversial.

The undiagnosed disease burden associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency genotypes

European Respiratory Journal, 2020
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), mainly due to the PI*ZZ genotype in SERPINA1, is one of the most common inherited diseases. Since it is associated with a high disease burden and partially prevented by smoking cessation, identification of PI*ZZ ...

Case-finding for alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency in Kazakh patients with COPD

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Background Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an under-diagnosed condition in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to screen for AATD in Kazakh patients with COPD using dried blood spot specimens ...

Liver Transplantation for Advanced Liver Disease with Alpha-1antitrypsin Deficiency [PDF]

, 1980
ALPHA-1-antitrypsin deficiency associated with chronic obstructive airway disease was recognized in 1963 by Laurell and Ericksson.1 In 1969, Sharp2 described the first cases of alpha-1-antitrypsin-deficiency disease in children with cirrhosis. Since then,

Utility of routine screening for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in patients with bronchiectasis [PDF]

, 2020
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a cause of bronchiectasis. Guidelines for bronchiectasis from the British Thoracic Society do not recommend to routinely test patients for AATD. In contrast, guidelines for AATD recommend routine screening.

Alpha‐1‐antitrypsin: A possible host protective factor against Covid‐19

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2020
Understanding Covid‐19 pathophysiology is crucial for a better understanding of the disease and development of more effective treatments. Alpha‐1‐antitrypsin (A1AT) is a constitutive tissue protector with antiviral and anti‐inflammatory properties.

REVERSAL OF HEPATIC ALPHA-1-ANTITRYPSIN DEPOSITION AFTER PORTACAVAL SHUNT [PDF]

, 1983
End-to-side portacaval shunts were carried out in three children with the liver disease of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and complications of portal hypertension. Their clinical courses have been stable for 31/2 to almost 7 years.
