Free light chains: potential biomarker and predictor of mortality in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and usual COPD
BACKGROUND: Circulating free light chains (FLCs) can alter neutrophil migration, apoptosis and activation and may be a biomarker of autoimmune disease and adaptive immune system activation. These pathogenic roles could be relevant to lung disease in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) and chronic...
