Cathelicidins: microbicidal activity, mechanisms of action, and roles in innate immunity.

Balaji Ramanathan1, Elizabeth G Davis, Christopher R Ross, Frank Blecha.   

Abstract

Antimicrobial peptides are important host-defense molecules of innate immunity. Cathelicidins are a diverse family of potent, rapidly acting and broadly effective antimicrobial peptides, which are produced by a variety of cells. This review examines the classification, antimicrobial spectrum, mechanism of action, and regulation of cathelicidins.
