human alpha 1-antitrypsin (aat) cdna was obtained from hepg2 cell lines. after pcr and construction of expression vector ppiczα-aat, human aat was expressed in the yeast pichia pastoris (p.pastoris) in a secretary manner and under the control of inducible alcohol oxidase 1 (aox1) promoter. the amount of aat protein in medium was measured as 60 mg/l 72 hr after induction with methanol. results i...

in this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (aat) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of cho and cos-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. human aat cdna was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. the transgene aat-jred chimer was transferr...

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...
