Specificity in killing pathogens is mediated by distinct repertoires of human neutrophil peptides.

abstract：:Pattern recognition is an integral part of the innate immune system. The human contact system has been shown to interact with the surface of many bacterial and fungal pathogens, and once activated leads to the generation of antimicrobial peptides and the proinflammatory mediator bradykinin. Here we show that apart fro...
