1 AAT from EBC and serum were quantified by ELISA. NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: AAT in EBC was detectable in every individual. NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
3 EBC AAT showed only a correlation trend with serum AAT (r=0.3, P=0.054). NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
4 EBC AAT showed only a correlation trend with serum AAT (r=0.3, P=0.054). NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: AAT in EBC was detectable and quantifiable. NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
6 AAT measured in EBC was significantly increased during exacerbations of COPD and can potentially be used as a biomarker in exacerbations. NSC638702 serpin family A member 1 Homo sapiens
