The human cathelicidin antimicrobial protein-18 and its C terminal peptide, LL-37, displays broad antimicrobial activity that is mediated through direct contact with the microbial cell membrane. In ...
Immunology researchers may be interested in learning how relevant the LL-37 peptide might impact their studies. The immune response relies on the endogenous peptide LL-37. Injuries and infections ...
Serum amyloid A (SAA) has been regarded as an important mediator of inflammatory responses. The effect of several formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) ligands on the production of IL-8 by SAA was ...
The innate immune system of human skin contains antimicrobial peptides known as cathelicidins (LL-37) and β-defensins. In normal skin these peptides are negligible, but they accumulate in skin ...
