Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. ANIMALS: 9 dogs (5 with multiple lesions and 4 with solitary lesions). PROCEDURE: Serum samples were obtained by means of cephalic or jugular venipuncture and frozen at -20 C until assayed. Serum alpha 1AT concentration was measured by means of radial gel immunodiffusion. RESULTS: In all dogs, serum alpha 1AT concentration was within the previously established reference range. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In the small number of-dogs studied, panniculitis was not associated with serum alpha 1AT deficiency.
