Background: Antibiotic-resistant is considered one of the critical health challenges in the
management of infectious diseases. Resistant bacterial strains to different antibacterial …

Hybridizing different antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a particularly successful approach to
obtain novel AMPs with increased antimicrobial activity but minimized cytotoxicity. The …

Revised Manuscript Received July 7, 1994® abstract: Cecropin B2 (CecB) is a 35 amino
acid residue, antibacterial peptide that was isolated from the hemolymph and cuticular …

Cecropin B1 (CB1) with two amphipathic α-helical segments is a derivative of the natural
antibacterial peptide, cecropin B. The assays of cell lysis show that, compared with cecropin …

Cecropins belong to the antibacterial peptides family and are induced after injection of
bacteria or their cell-wall components. By silkworm cDNA microarray analysis, a novel type …

Abstract Background Several antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) belonging to the cecropin family
have been identified from the salivary glands of different black fly species, however, the …

Cecropin B is a cationic antimicrobial peptide originally isolated from the diapausing pupae
of the giant silk moth, Hylphora cecropia. Cecropin B elicits its antimicrobial effects through …

Antibacterial peptides are part of the innate immune system in a variety of different species
including humans. Some of these peptides have also been shown to have effects on …

We differentially screened a novel gene encoding a new antibacterial peptide from the
immunizedBombyx moricDNA library. The gene showed a similar structure to that of …

We have de novo designed four antimicrobial peptides AMP‐A/B/C/D, the 51‐residues
peptides, which are based on the conserved sequence of cecropin. In the present study, the …
