The neutrophil antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin promotes Th17 differentiation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Neutrophils secrete numerous immune effector molecules including cathelicidin which is associated with antimicrobial properties. Here the authors implicate neutrophil derived cathelicidin in modulation of CD4 T cell homoeostasis and the promotion of Th17

Cathelicidins: Immunomodulatory Antimicrobials [PDF]
Vaccines, 2018 Cathelicidins are host defense peptides with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. These effector molecules of the innate immune system of many vertebrates are diverse in their amino acid sequence but share physicochemical characteristics like positive charge and amphipathicity.

Cathelicidins and the Onset of Labour [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractPreterm birth, defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Infection and inflammation are frequent antecedents of spontaneous preterm birth. Cathelicidin, an antimicrobial host defence peptide, is induced by infection and inflammation and although expressed in the reproductive ...

Cathelicidins In Humans And Animals [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2019 Abstract Cathelicidins are Important immunological peptides – HDPs (Host Defense Peptides) with high biological activity in mammals, including human and vertebrate animals. These evolutionary ancient molecules in these organisms are natural elements of antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic immunity against which germs
