Abstract
In this paper we follow on from our research into SLPI by assessing the immunomodulatory activity of elafin - an antiprotease related to SLPI and also present on the respiratory tract. We demonstrate for the first time that exogenously applied elafin inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of the NF-kappaB and AP-1 pathways in monocytes. I designed this project and supervised Marcus Butler during his MD thesis.
