Cathelicidin Contributes to the Restriction of Leishmania in Human Host Macrophages
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 In cutaneous Leishmaniasis the parasitic control in human host macrophages is still poorly understood. We found an increased expression of the human cathelicidin CAMP in skin lesions of Ethiopian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis.

The antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin protects mice from Escherichia coli O157:H7-mediated disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 This study investigated the role of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin in Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection and subsequent renal damage. Mouse and human cathelicidin, CRAMP and LL-37, respectively, killed E. coli O157:H7 in vitro.

Snake cathelicidin from Bungarus fasciatus is a potent peptide antibiotics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Cathelicidins are a family of antimicrobial peptides acting as multifunctional effector molecules of innate immunity, which are firstly found in mammalians. Recently, several cathelicidins have also been found from chickens and fishes.

Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyCathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS ...

Immunomodulatory effects of chicken cathelicidin-2 on a primary hepatic cell co-culture model
PLoS ONE, 2022 Cathelicidin-2 is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) produced as part of the innate immune system of chickens and might be a new candidate to combat infection and inflammation within the gut-liver axis.

Circulating Cathelicidin Concentrations in a Cohort of Healthy Children: Influence of Age, Body Composition, Gender and Vitamin D Status. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cathelicidin is an antimicrobial peptide whose circulating levels are related to vitamin D status in adults. This study sought to determine if circulating cathelicidin concentrations in healthy children are related to the age of the child, body ...
