Expression of human α1-proteinase inhibitor in Aspergillus niger
BACKGROUND Human alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI), also known as antitrypsin, is the most abundant serine protease inhibitor (serpin) in plasma. Its deficiency is associated with development of progressive, ultimately fatal emphysema. Currently in the United States, alpha1-PI is available for replacement therapy as an FDA licensed plasma-derived (pd) product. However, the plasma source i...

متن کاملPrevention of Hyaline Membrane Disease
The high mortality of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and the relative ineffectiveness of treatment' make two recent reports of special interest. They are clinical studies2 3 which attempt to clarify the role of corticosteroids in prevention and treatment. New forms of treatment for this puzzling disorder have sometimes been introduced without adequate trials, so that it is h...
متن کاملInhibition of neutrophil elastase by recombinant human proteinase inhibitor 9.
Proteinase inhibitor PI9 (PI9) is an intracellular 42-kDa member of the ovalbumin family of serpins that is found primarily in placenta, lung and lymphocytes. PI9 has been shown to be a fast-acting inhibitor of granzyme B in vitro, presumably through the utilization of Glu(340) as the P(1) inhibitory residue in its reactive site loop. In this report, we describe the inhibition of human neutroph...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa elastase does not inactivate alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor in the presence of leukocyte elastase.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase rapidly inactivates alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor by splitting its Pro-357-Met-358 peptide bond. The present study was aimed at testing whether this reaction takes place in the presence of leukocyte elastase. To this end was added alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor to a mixture of the two elastases, and we performed the following assays: (i) measurement of the residual ...
