    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 Sep 11; 526(1):218-26. PubMed ID: 80233.
    Abstract:
    The partition of labelled rat pancreatic elastase (EC 3.4.21.11) between the different protease inhibitors of rat plasma was studied at different levels of saturation of the inhibitors of rat plasma was studied at different levels of saturation of the inhibitor capacity of plasma with the enzyme. The reaction mixtures were analysed by immunoelectrophoretic methods utilizing specific antisera against the different inhibitors and by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Rat serum was shown to contain four elastase binding proteins. alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 1-macroglobulin and alpha 2-acute phase protein and alpha 1-inhibitor 3 which exhibits immunologic cross-reaction with human inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor and is of similar molecular weight. With minute amounts of labelled elastase the partition among the binding protein was alpha 1-macroglobulin 60%, alpha 1-antitrypsin 24% and alpha 1-I3 16%. The 60% value of alpha 1-M bound radioactivity in normal serum corresponds to the sum of alpha 1-M and alpha 2-AP labelling in inflammatory serum.
