Serological assessment of neutrophil elastase activity on elastin during lung ECM remodeling

BACKGROUND: During the pathological destruction of lung tissue, neutrophil elastase (NE) degrades elastin, one of the major constituents of lung parenchyma. However there are no non-invasive methods to quantify NE degradation of elastin. We selected specific elastin fragments generated by NE for ant...
