-
ATT is produced by the liver and its job it to prevent an enzyme found in the lungs, called elastase, which breaks down the elastic fibers, called elastin, that make up the airways and the alveolar walls.

From each plate (representing an isolate) one colony was selected and grown as a overnight culture in either ox-broth (for elastase activity) or AB trace minimal medium containing 3 mM glucose (32) at 37°C with shaking (rhamnolipid and signal molecules production).

The concomitant development of QS malfunction significantly correlated with the reduced production of rhamnolipids and elastase and with the occurrence of mutations in the regulatory genes lasR and rhlR.

Neutrophils from healthy volunteers were incubated with DFP (2.5 mM), and neutrophil elastase (NE) activity; hypodiploid DNA formation; caspases-3 and -8 processing and activity; exteriorization of phosphatidylserine (PS); oxidative burst activity and hydrogen peroxide release were measured.

The supernatant was either dialyzed against sterile water (for elastase activity) or sterile filtered using 0.2 µm pore filters (16543; Sartorius), frozen and kept for further analysis.
