ABSTRACT Experiments to isolate and characterize rhesus macaque myeloid α-defensins (RMADs) were conducted. Seven RMAD peptides… Expand

Reports that interleukin-8 (IL-8) induces the infiltration of neutrophils followed by T-cells into injection sites led us to… Expand

We investigated the monocyte-chemotactic activity of fractionated extracts of human neutrophil granules. Monocyte-chemotactic… Expand

Defensins, human neutrophil peptide (HNP) antibiotics, potently inhibited phospholipid/Ca2+ protein kinase (protein kinase C, PKC… Expand

Human neutrophils contain a family of microbicidal peptides known as defensins. One of these defensins, human neutrophil peptide… Expand

We extracted a granule-rich sediment from normal human neutrophils and subjected it to chromatographic, electrophoretic, and… Expand
