Serpin A1 is the archetypal member of the Serpin superfamily of the serine protease inhibitors (1). As one of the most abundant proteinase inhibitors in the circulation, it is synthesized in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream with the major function to protect tissues against neutrophil elastase. A severe serpin A1 deficiency leads to several clinical complications such as pulmonary emphysema, juvenile hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (2). The deficiency is caused by point mutations in naturally occurring serpin A1 variants (over 70 are known). For example, the Z variant (Glu342 to Lys) forms intracellular inclusion bodies, is not secreted, and leads to a severe serpin A1 deficiency (3).

Scientific Data Images for Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin Antibody
Detection of Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin by Western Blot.
Western blot shows human plasma and lysates of human lung tissue and human kidney tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). Specific bands were detected for Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin at approximately 50-60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin in HepG2 Human Cell Line.
Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin was detected in immersion fixed HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line using Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western lane view shows human plasma, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin at approximately 62 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.Detection of Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human kidney tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin at approximately 65 kDa (as indicated) using 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin Specificity is Shown by Immunocytochemistry in Knockout Cell Line.
Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin was detected in immersion fixed HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line but is not detected in Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin knockout (KO) HepG2 cell line using Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268) at 9 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Western Blot Shows Human Serpin A1/ alpha 1‑Antitrypsin Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.
Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma parental cell line and Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin HepG2 knockout cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1268) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). Specific bands were detected for Serpin A1/a1-Antitrypsin at approximately 45-55 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HepG2 cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HepG2 cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
