Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency:
smoking, decline in lung function and implications for therapeutic
trials. Alpha-1 is a form
of congenital emphysema that causes degradation of a patient's lung
tissue due to inadequate production of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). The cartridges use affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies to
remove more than 98 percent of the six most abundant proteins (albumin,
immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin A, alpha-1-antitrypsin, transferrin and
haptoglobin) in human serum and the three most abundant proteins
(albumin, immunoglobulin G and transferrin) in mouse serum, with minimal
non-specific removal of other proteins. |
