Sphingosine's role in epithelial host defense: A natural antimicrobial and novel therapeutic.

abstract：:Maximum 125I-IGF-I/Sm-C total binding to chick embryo fibroblasts was 3% at +37 degrees C and decreased to less than 1% in presence of 2.8 X 10(-9) M unlabelled IGF-I/Sm-C. Insulin did not compete with IGF-I/Sm-C for the binding to cells. Biological action of IGF-I/Sm-C was evaluated on 2-deoxyglucose and alpha-aminoi...
