The antibacterial activity of peptides derived from human beta‐2 glycoprotein I is inhibited by protein H and M1 protein from <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>
17 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
During the last years, the importance of antibacterial peptides has attracted considerable attention. We report here that peptides derived from the fifth domain of beta-2 glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI), a human heparin binding plasma protein, have antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Streptococcus pyogenes, an important human pathogen that can survive and grow in human blood,...
