Effects of thrombin and its related peptide fragments on neutrophils
Wounds are highly proteolytic environments containing proteases from host cells as well as colonising bacteria. In this milieu, novel host defence peptides derived from host proteins such as cytokines and coagulation pathway proteins are being generated. For example, proteolysis of the serum protein...
