Cathelicidins Modulate TLR-Activation and Inflammation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Cathelicidins are short cationic peptides that are part of the innate immune system. At first, these peptides were studied mostly for their direct antimicrobial killing capacity, but nowadays they are more and more appreciated for their immunomodulatory ...

Antiviral Potential of Cathelicidins [PDF]
Future Microbiology, 2013 The global burden of morbidity and mortality arising from viral infections is high; however, the development of effective therapeutics has been slow. As our understanding of innate immunity has expanded over recent years, knowledge of natural host defenses against viral infections has started to offer potential for novel therapeutic strategies.

Chicken cathelicidins display antimicrobial activity against multiresistant bacteria without inducing strong resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The increased prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in combination with the relatively limited development of new antibiotics presents a serious threat to public health.

Cathelicidins - Natures Attempt at Combinatorial Chemistry
Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, 2005 Cathelicidins are a family of diverse antimicrobial peptides found in granules of mammalian neutrophils. Cathelicidins are active against a broad range of microbes in different environments. Aside from their antimicrobial activity, cathelicidins possess other biological properties including cytotoxic activity towards mammalian cells.

Cathelicidins in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractTasmanian devil joeys, like other marsupials, are born at a very early stage of development, prior to the development of their adaptive immune system, yet survive in a pathogen-laden pouch and burrow. Antimicrobial peptides, called cathelicidins, which provide innate immune protection during early life, are expressed in the pouch lining, skin ...

International Journal of Systems Biology and Biomedical Technologies, 2013 Cathelicidins constitute important antimicrobial peptides of innate immunity. In order to elucidate the evolutionary history of cathelicidins, the author performed comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of cathelicidin homologs in all available genomes including those completed recently. The organization of cathelicidin genes, as well as the secondary and
