Abstract
1.
1. Native and cleaved α1-proteinase inhibitor was purified from ostrich serum using Sepharose-blue dextran chromatography, ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M at pH 8.8 and 6.5.
2.
2. Ostrich α1PI displayed Mr values of 68,100 using gradient PAGE and 66,200 using Ferguson plots.
3.
3. Isoelectric focusing of ostrich α1-PI in the pH range 3–10 revealed pi values of 4.84 and 4.91, and in the pH range 4–6 the characteristic microheterogeneity observed for mammalian α1-PIs was displayed.
4.
4. The presence of sialic acid, hexoses and hexosamines was detected using chemical methods, but were found in much lower quantities as compared to α1-PIs of other species.
5.
5. Western blot analysis demonstrated a positive reaction between the native and cleaved ostrich α1-PIs and the antibodies to the ostrich α1-PIs raised in rabbits. No cross-reactivity was demonstrated by Western blot analysis between human α1-PI and antibodies to ostrich α,-PI.
6.
6. The inhibitory effect of α1-PI on elastase and chymotrypsin was also investigated.
