摘要
A decreased inhibition of pancreatic elastase has been detected in the serums of six patients with α1-antitrypsin deficiency. Five have severe clinical and physiological pulmonary emphysema. This observation extends the defect of inhibition by serum to a second, biologically active proteolytic enzyme in this form of familial emphysema.
