Answer»

Answer is : (d) AAT can be extracted from blood donations in large amounts

The statement (d) is incorrect regarding α -1 Antitrypsin (AAT). The condition of emphysema can be treated by inhaling an aerosolspray containing AAT, so that it reaches the alveoli and inhibits the elastase activity there. AAT for this treatment can be extracted from blood donations, but only in very small amounts.
