Traditional antibiotics have made great contributions to human health and animal husbandry
since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, but bacterial resistance and drug residues are …

Abstract Porcine protegrin-1 (PG-1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with
potent antimicrobial activities. We produced recombinant PG-1 and evaluated its cytotoxicity …

Cathelicidins are a ubiquitous family of host defence antimicrobial peptides in vertebrate
animals. Unlike other antimicrobial peptide families, it is defined by a large and relatively …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to existing treatments for multidrug-
resistant bacteria-infected wounds. Therefore, the effect of protegrin-1 (PG1), a potent …

A tendency to dimerize in the presence of lipids was found for the protegrin. The dimer
formation by the protegrin-1 (PG-1) is the first step for further oligomeric membrane pore …

The availability of simple, robust, and cost-effective methods for the large-scale production of
bacteriotoxic peptides such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is essential for basic and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to antibiotics in the fight against
multi-drug resistant and immune system-evading bacterial infections. Protegrins are porcine …

Abstract Proline-arginine-rich (PR)-39 is neutrophil antimicrobial peptide that has potent
antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are traditionally known to be essential components in host
defense via their broad activities against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Their …

Copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in livestock can
influence the innate immune response of individuals. We conducted a high-resolution …
