Recombinant Human Alpha-1 Antitrypsin-Fc Fusion Protein Reduces Mouse Myocardial Inflammatory Injury After Ischemia–Reperfusion Independent of Elastase Inhibition

Abstract

The pAAT and recombinant human AAT-Fc reduce the acute myocardial inflammatory injury after ischemia-reperfusion in the mouse leading to preservation of viable myocardium and systolic function, independent on the effects on neutrophil elastase.
