Human pre-α-inhibitor is a positive acute-phase protein that is more susceptible than inter-α-inhibitor to proteolysis by stimulated neutrophils

Pre-alpha-inhibitor (PalphaI) is a human plasma serine-proteinase inhibitor that is structurally related to inter-alpha-inhibitor (IalphaI). It is composed of a heavy chain named H3 covalently linked to bikunin by means of a glycosaminoglycan chain. We developed an ELISA procedure making it possible...
