Host defense peptides in the oral cavity and the lung: similarities and differences.

Journal of dental research - 1 Oct 2008

Diamond G, Beckloff N, Ryan L K

Abstract excerpt

Peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity are found in the mucosal surfaces at many sites in the body, including the airway, the oral cavity, and the digestive tract. Based on their in vitro antimicrobial and other immunomodulatory activities, these host defense peptides have been propo...
