Human tear lipocalin exhibits antimicrobial activity by scavenging microbial siderophores.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Human tear lipocalin (TL; also known as Lcn1) is a secretory protein present in large amounts in fluids that cover epithelial surfaces such as tears and respiratory secretions. It is supposed to act as a physiological scavenger of hydrophobic, potentially harmful molecules, but there is evidence that it also inhibits bacterial growth. In the present study, we reconsidered the possibility that TL might interfere...
