The thrombin-derived host defense peptide GKY25 inhibits endotoxin-induced responses through Interactions with lipopolysaccharide and macrophages/monocytes

Host defense peptides have recently gained much interest as novel anti-infectives owing to their ability to kill bacteria and simultaneously modulate host cell responses. The cationic host defense peptide GKY25 (GKYGFYTHVFRLKKWIQKVIDQFGE), derived from the C terminus of human thrombin, inhibits proi...
