α-1-antitrypsin belongs to the serpin family and is a strong serine protease inhibitor. Its pivotal role is to protect lower respiratory tract against proteolytic destruction by human leukocyte elastase. Mutation in AAT gene will reduce the serum concentration of α-1-antitrypsin and hence increase the risk of emphysema. Anti-α1-antitrypsin antibody (diluted 1:9000) can be used as a capture antibody for determination of transgene expressions levels. It can also be used in immunoelectrophoresis. Rabbit anti-α1-antitrypsin antibody reacts specifically with α1-antitrypsin of human.
Immunogen
Purified human α-1-antitrypsin
Application
Anti-α1-antitrypsin antibody (diluted 1: 1000) can be used in ELISA. It can also be used for probing immunoblots to identify A1AT. Additionally, it can be used in Ouchterlony double diffusion.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Western Blotting (1 paper)
Rabbit anti-α1-antitrypsin antibody can also be used in immunoelectrophoretic techniques.

The acute-phase response is an immediate reaction of the host against invading microorganisms. We show here that oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing a CpG motif rapidly induce the major murine acute-phase proteins in vivo, i.e. serum amyloid A (SAA) and serum amyloid

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the greatest increase in mortality among all solids tumors in the United States related to low rates of early tumor detection. Development of noninvasive biomarkers for the early detection of HCC may reduce HCC-related mortality.Methods:

Identifying factors that influence gene transfer efficacy is critical for a successful gene-based clinical study. Here we demonstrate that in vivo AAV-2-mediated gene transfer is efficiently inhibited by unfractionated heparin, but not by a heparin preparation containing mainly low-molecular-weight forms

alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is one of the most common genetic diseases in North America, with a carrier frequency of approximately 4% in the US population. Homozygosity for the most common mutation (Glu342Lys, PI(*)Z) leads to the synthesis of a
Misfolding of secretory proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) features in many human diseases. In α1-antitrypsin deficiency, the pathogenic Z variant aberrantly assembles into polymers in the hepatocyte ER, leading to cirrhosis. We show that α1-antitrypsin polymers undergo a liquid:solid
