Effect of Recombinant α1-Antitrypsin Fc-Fused (AAT-Fc) Protein on the Inhibition of Inflammatory Cytokine Production and Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes
Abstract α1-Antitrypsin (AAT) is a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor family that impedes the enzymatic activity of serine proteinases, including human neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G and neutrophil proteinase 3. Here, we expressed recombinant AAT by fusing the intact AAT gene to the constan...
