Function of Antimicrobial Peptides in Lung Innate Immunity, Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are produced by epithelial and myeloid cells as part of this system. AMPs, such as defensins and cathelicidin, are small cationic peptides with a broad microbicidal activity against respiratory bacteria, viruses, and fungi. However, their functions go beyond antimicrobi

Antimicrobial Peptides: Maintaining Sterility of the Urinary Tract,r this microbial assault, the urinary tract has developed a highly effective antimicrobial “shield” that can rapidly eliminate invading pathogens or prevent their growth. During recent years, considerable advances have been made in our understanding of the immune mechanisms that contribute to urinar

Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptide Gene Expression by Vitamin D,ation provided a potential explanation for the ability of vitamin D to enhance the antimicrobial activity of immune cells like macrophages that had been observed in the 1980s. Further, this finding provided a mechanism that could explain the observed importance of vitamin D in maintaining the epithe
