Table 1. Primers used to measure mouse AAT and GAPDH mRNAs.

mRNA	Primer Sequences	Product Size
Mouse AAT	5′-TTC CAA CAC CTC CTC CAA AC -3′ 5′-CAC CGC CTC AGC TAT CTT TC-3′	234 bp
Mouse Neutrophil Elastase	5′-ACT GTG TGA ACG GCC TAA AT -3′ 5′-CTG GGT GAT GGT CTG TTT GT -3′	292 bp
Mouse GAPDH	5′-CTG CCA TTT GCA GTG GCA AAG TGG-3′ 5′-TTG TCA TGG ATG ACC TTG GCC AGG-3′	437 bp

Mouse AAT and NE mRNAs were measured by RT-PCR and factored by simultaneously obtained GAPDH product.
