Og-CATH: In Vitro Characterisation of a Non-Bactericidal Cathelicidin Modulating P2X7 and MD2
Cathelicidins are host defence peptides found in both mammals and reptiles. Researchers usually identify these peptides by their ability to kill bacteria directly. They typically work by breaking open bacterial cell membranes. However, laboratory analysis of Og-CATH, a peptide isolated from King Cob…
