Antimicrobial peptides from amphibian skin: What do they tell us?
Amphibian skin secretions contain many biologically active compounds, such as biogenic amines, complex alkaloids, or peptides. Within the latter class of molecules, a large numb...
Pepsin-Mediated Processing of the Cytoplasmic Histone H2A to Strong Antimicrobial Peptide Buforin I
Abstract The intestinal epithelium forms a first line of innate host defense by secretion of proteins with antimicrobial activity against microbial infection. Despite the extens...
The Instructive Role of Innate Immunity in the Acquired Immune Response
Innate immunity has been considered only to provide rapid, incomplete antimicrobial host defense until the slower, more definitive acquired immune response develops. However, in...
Pathogen Recognition and Inflammatory Signaling in Innate Immune Defenses
SUMMARY The innate immune system constitutes the first line of defense against invading microbial pathogens and relies on a large family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs),...
Phylogenetic Perspectives in Innate Immunity
The concept of innate immunity refers to the first-line host defense that serves to limit infection in the early hours after exposure to microorganisms. Recent data have highlig...
