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.

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

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
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Improvement of treatment efficacy and decreased side effects through tumor-targeted drug delivery would be desirable. By panning with a phage-displayed cyclic random peptide library we selected a peptide with
alpha 1-Antitrypsin (AAT) is a potent fluid-phase inhibitor of serine proteases. It forms a tightly bound, stoichiometric complex with these enzymes and is inactivated by cleavage within its reactive center. Evidence is here presented, that the 44-residue C-terminal fragment of
