Correlation of pro-inflammatory mediators in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of alpha1- antitrypsin deficient individuals with neutrophils and neutrophil derived proteases. A The correlation between the percentage of neutrophils and neutrophil elastase concentrations (NE), and B the correlation between neutrophil percentage and the levels of IL-8 in the ELF of alpha1- antitrypsin subjects. C The correlation between the levels of neutrophil elastase and IL-8 in the ELF of alpha1- antitrypsin subjects. D The correlation between protease 3 (PR3) concentration and the levels of IL-8
