Immune regulatory activities of fowlicidin-1
Immune regulatory activities of fowlicidin-1, a cathelicidin host defense peptide. YR Bommineni, GH Pham, LT Sunkara, M Achanta, G Zhang, Mol Immunol., 2014, 59, 55-63. Appropriate modulation of immunity is beneficial in antimicrobial therapy and vaccine development. Host defense peptides (HDPs) constitute critically important components of innate immunity with both antimicrobial and immune regulatory activities. We previously showed that a chicken HDP, namely fowlicidin-1(6-26), has potent antibacterial…
