Antiviral and Anti-inflammatory Effects of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin in the Treatment of COVID-19
Human alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) is a circulating blood glycoprotein that has been used for decades in the treatment of patients with AAT deficiency, lung damage, and emphysema, helping to prevent acute lung injury. Recently, it has been found that AAT also mitigates the course of COVID-19 disease by hindering the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus into host cells.
