متن کاملGene therapy for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is associated with pulmonary emphysema and liver cirrhosis. The pathogenesis and treatment is reviewed with particular emphasis on gene therapy for emphysema. The technology of gene transfer using viruses and liposomes is developing fast and animal experiments have confirmed the feasibility of gene therapy for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). So far only sub...
متن کاملAlpha- 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in Children: Pulmonary Involvement
Introduction: α1-antitrypsin deficiency (α1-ATD) is one of the most common genetic disorders in white race, a usual cause of liver disease in children, and hepatopulmonary involvement in children and adult. The aim of this case description is presenting a child with early lung disease without liver parenchymal disorder. Case presentation: We describe a 13 year old boy because of exertional dysp...
متن کاملAlpha 1-antitrypsin in human macrophages.
Preliminary studies have suggested that alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is a useful immunohistochemical marker of histiocytes (monocytes/macrophages) and malignant tumours derived from them. To confirm the reliability of this marker a wide variety of benign and malignant lymphoreticular cells and tissues have been stained by the immunoperoxidase technique for A1AT and positive staining was found to ...
متن کاملAlpha - 1 - antitrypsin - Pittsburgh A
Alpha-l-antitrypsin-Pittsburgh is a human variant that resulted from a point mutation in the plasma protease inhibitor, a,-antitrypsin (358 Met Arg). This defect in the a,-antitrypsin molecule causes it to have greatly diminished anti-elastase activity but markedly increased antithrombin activity. In this report, we demonstrate that this variant protein also has greatly increased inhibitory act...
