Interrelationships between the Human Alveolar Macrophage and Alpha-1-Antitrypsin
AUTOR(ES)
Cohen, Allen B.
RESUMO
Alveolar macrophages lavaged from human lungs contain protease activity at an optimum pH of 3.0 and possibly a lesser peak of activity at pH 5.5. Protease activity measured at pH 4.1 is inhibited by purified alpha-1-antitrypsin.
