Multifunctional Role of Human SPLUNC1 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection
7 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The human short PLUNC1 (SPLUNC1) protein has been identified as a component of the pulmonary antimicrobial response based on its structural similarity to the bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein. Using a genetically modified mouse model, we recently verified the antimicrobial activity of SPLUNC1 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vivo. To further define the mechanism of epithelial SPLUNC1-mediated...
