I used to work for a company that was manufacturing that protein and had a product in clinical rials until carpet baggers bought into the company and forced it into liquidation so they could make 2p a share profit.

Anyway, link cowboylover gave is the best I know of. Prolastin is the name of the drug treatment and there are some useful links on its webpage if you haven't already looked there.
