Resumo

The reactivity of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) with Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) was studied by crossed immuno-affinity electrophoresis of the sera of 246 subjects from 6 groups (acute virus hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), carcinoma metastatic to the liver and normal controls). Two species of AAT (LCA-reactive and -nonreactive species) were detected on crossed immuno-affinity electrophoresis in a gel containing LCA. The percentages of LCA-reactive species of AAT in neoplastic diseases of the liver were significantly higher than those in benign liver diseases and normal controls. There was no correlation between the percentage of LCA-reactive species of AAT and serum AAT concentration in any group. Furthermore, in studying 15 pairs of serum samples before and after the subsequent development of HCC, the percentage of LCA-reactive species of AAT after HCC occurrence was significantly higher than that before, although there was no statistically significant difference between the serum AAT concentration before and after development of the disease. The latter 15 patients were all of the normal protease inhibitor phenotype (PiMM) and no change in phenotype was observed before and after the development of HCC. The results indicate that measurement of the reactivity of AAT with LCA can be a useful marker for the diagnosis of HCC and carcinoma metastatic to the liver, especially when serum concentrations of alpha-foetoprotein or other tumour markers are within the normal ranges.
