Defensin-immunology in inflammatory bowel disease.

Gastroenterologie clinique et biologique - 1 Jun 2009

Wehkamp J, Stange E F, Fellermann K

Abstract excerpt

Defensins are endogenous antibiotics with microbicidal activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, enveloped viruses and protozoa. A disturbed antimicrobial defense, as provided by Paneth- and other epithelial cell defensins, seems to be a critical factor in the pathogenesis...
