1 As PMN-derived HOCl is well known to inactivate A1PI directly, through a process previously shown to be inhibitable by NMS, the present results suggest: (1) both the oxidative and proteolytic inactivation of A1PI depend on the HOCl-generating MPO system; (2) the tissue-destructive activity of PMN elastase could be controlled by interfering pharmacologically with the PMN-MPO system, directly and indirectly responsible for the breakdown of the tissue antielastase screen.
