Abstract
Four new rare inherited [human] variants (Pi types) of .alpha.1-antitrypsin (.alpha.1-protease inhibitor) are described. Each variant was compared with previously reported genetic variants by several techniques used for Pi typing: isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel; starch gel electrophoresis and agarose gel electrophoresis. Some variants are identical or very similar by 1 technique but can be clearly distinguished by another technique. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis and gel immunofixation were used to identify the gel bands as .alpha.1-antitrypsin.
