Popis: The presence of alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) in normal pancreatic islets recently has been demonstrated, and serum elevation of A1AT in patients having pancreatic tumors has been reported. In the present study, the presence of A1AT in 12 of 33 islet cell tumors was demonstrated. The possible utility of A1AT as a marker for islet cell tumors is suggested.
