We consider correlation functions containing the axial current of one light and one heavy quark in the static approximation as well as in full QCD, using the lattice regularization. Up to one-loop order of perturbation theory, we study the difference between the full and the effective theory in the continuum limit. In the full theory we find a term non-analytic in 1/m, revealing the asymptotic character of the 1/m-expansion. In general, deviations from the m-to-infinity limit turn out to be small and are well described by the first non-trivial terms when m is a factor 2-3 above the external scale. We also investigate the mass dependence of discretization errors, and find that the behaviour of the correlation functions at finite lattice spacing differs significantly from that in the continuum limit when the quark mass is large.
