In vitro and in vivo modulation of NADPH oxidase activity and reactive oxygen species production in human neutrophils by α1-antitrypsin

Oxidative stress from innate immune cells is a driving mechanism that underlies COPD pathogenesis. Individuals with α-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) have a dramatically increased risk of developing COPD. To understand this further, the aim of this study was to investigate whether AATD present...
