摘要：

To examine the relationship between alpha(1)-antitrypsin (alpha(1)AT) specific activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF alpha) concentration in synovial fluid from 48 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods.The specific activity of alpha(1)AT was calculated from the measurement of alpha(1)AT concentration (by rocket immunoelectrophoresis) and elastase inhibitory capacity. TNF alpha was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. TNF alpha concentrations correlated with the extent of alpha(1)AT inactivation. Conclusion. Our findings are consistent with a role of elastase in TNF alpha release within the inflamed joint.
