Abstract excerpt

Stimulated neutrophils release a variety of antimicrobial peptides, including neutrophil defensins (HNP1-4). We have previously reported that neutrophil defensins enhanced the adherence of Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria meningitidis to cultured respiratory epithelial cells. In this study, the effect of defensins on the adherence of H. influenzae and N. meningitidis lipooligosaccharide (LOS) mutants to...
