Part Descriptions
LP17187-3 Alpha 1 antitrypsin phenotype
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a relatively common autosomal recessive condition. The most common deficiency alleles in the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene on the protease inhibitor locus are PI*Z and PI*S. The normal allele is PI*M. Patients homozygous for PI*Z or PI*S or heterozygous PI*Z/PI*S will have decreased alpha-1-antitrypsin levels, with PI*Z/PI*Z having lowest levels of 10-20% of normal. Patients with PI*Z/PI*Z or PI*S/PI*Z genotypes reportedly have increased risk of childhood liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and emphysema in adult life. PI*M/PI*Z patients may have decreased pulmonary function and increased risk for COPD, especially smokers.

LP6336-4 Immunofixation
Plasma or concentrated urine is deposited on a gel. With an electrical current the proteins are sorted in function of their size, after which antigens for each targeted type of immunoglobulin are deposited on the gel. Thus more or less narrow bands appear on the gel, marking the location of the various immunoglobulines.
Immunofixation tends to replace protein electrophoresis because:
• it is faster (results within three hours);
• it is somewhat more sensitive. Immunofixation may reveal an immunoglobulin missed out by protein electrophoresis, especially at low concentrations (less than 1 gram/litre);
• it can be partially automated and can be used in more laboratories;
• it is more easily read and interpreted.
Immunofixation is however only sensitive to immunoglobulins and is more expensive than protein electrophoresis.
