title: [Comparative characteristic of serpin--alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor in human and mice serum].
abstract: Serpin alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor have been studied in human subjects and in mice of different lines as acute phase reactant and during tumor development. In humans, there was no difference of serpin activity between men and women. Increased activity was noted in men with acute trauma (acute phase reaction). Comparatively to male, in female mice of different lines decreased activity of serum alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor, was shown. There was no increase of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor activity during inflammation induced by zymosan administration in mice. alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor belongs to acute phase reactants in humans but not in mice; for mice alpha-2-macroglobulin is a more typical acute phase reactant as compared to alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor. Murine tumor development (hepatoma HA-1, lymphosarcoma LS, Lewis lung adenocarcinoma) was followed by a decreased activity of serum alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor both in successfully treated and untreated groups. According to data of literature, similar dated were obtained in humans with tumors. It was suggested that changes of expressiln of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor by tumors and its secretion were involved in decreased activity of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor.
