Modulation of exogenous antibiotic activity by host cathelicidin LL‐37 [PDF]
APMIS, 2010 Leszczyńska K, Namiot A, Janmey PA, Bucki R. Modulation of exogenous antibiotic activity by host cathelicidin LL‐37. APMIS 2010; 118: 830–6.The increasing number of infections caused by drug‐resistant bacteria has spurred efforts to develop new therapeutic strategies. When applied locally, exogenous antibiotics work in an environment rich in endogenous

Pulmonary defense and the human cathelicidin hCAP-18/LL-37 [PDF]
Immunologic Research, 2005 Antimicrobial peptides form an important component of the innate immune system. The cathelicidin family, a key member of the antimicrobial peptide defenses, has been highly conserved throughout evolution. Though widespread in mammals, there is currently only one identified human example, hCAP-18/LL-37. The cathelicidins have been found to have multiple

Antimicrobial peptides and eicosanoids : roles and interactions in inflammation and host defense [PDF]
, 2017 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a broad spectrum of activities and exert their functions by both direct killing of microbes through the interaction with the microbial membrane, and modulation of innate and adaptive immunity of the host.

The Roles of Cathelicidin LL-37 in Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 2016 Human cathelicidin LL-37, the only member of the cathelicidin family of host defense peptides expressed in humans, plays a crucial role in host defense against pathogen invasion, as well as in regulating the functions of anti-inflammation, antitumorigenesis, and tissue repair.

Structural and functional analysis of the pro-domain of human cathelicidin, LL-37 [PDF]
, 2013 Cathelicidins form a family of small host defense peptides distinct from another class of cationic antimicrobial peptides, the defensins. They are expressed as large precursor molecules with a highly conserved pro-domain known as the cathelin-like domain
