alpha1-Antitrypsin, the major protease inhibitor in human serum, occurs in a considerable number of variant forms, some of which are associated with lung and liver diseases. The identification of these genetic variants, generally called Pi-types, by means of isoelectric focusing is described, as well as investigations concerning the practical application of isoelectric focusing as a routine procedure for typing the variants of alpha1-antitrypsin. Finally, isoelectric focusing is compared with the most widely used Pi-phenotyping technique, namely acid starch-gel electrophoresis followed by immunoelectrophoresis in antibody-containing agarose gel.
