The human antimicrobial peptide dermcidin activates normal human keratinocytes

11 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The skin has evolved an epithelial defence mechanism which is characterized by antimicrobial peptides that inactivate various microorganisms and exhibit stimulatory activities bridging innate and adaptive immunity. Dermcidin (DCD) is a newly isolated antimicrobial peptide produced by the eccrine sweat glands in the skin. Recently, the DCD peptides DCD-1 and DCD-1L have been shown to display in vitro...
