Abstract
The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode a novel pancreas-derived serpin (PDS) expressed in human pancreas. The present invention also provides for antisense molecules to the nucleotide sequences which encode PDS, expression vectors for the production of purified PDS, antibodies capable of binding specifically to PDS, hybridization probes or oligonucleotides for the detection of PDS-encoding nucleotide sequences, genetically engineered host cells for the expression of PDS, diagnostic tests based on PDS-encoding nucleic acid molecules and a pharmaceutical composition containing PDS capable of binding specifically to a serine protease.
