Review: Defensins and cathelicidins in lung immunity

Innate Immunity, 2010
Defensins were first identified in 1985 and are now recognized as part of a large family of antimicrobial peptides, divided into three categories: α-, β-, and θ-defensins. These defensin classes differ in structure, sites of expression and biological activities.

Keratinocytes Store the Antimicrobial Peptide Cathelicidin in Lamellar Bodies

, 2005
Innate immune defense against microbial pathogens occurs by physical barriers, by recruitment of cells such as neutrophils, NK cells, and macrophages, and by secretion of molecules with antimicrobial activity.
