Human beta-defensin (hBD)-3, a 45 amino acid antimicrobial peptide, was originally isolated from human skin. hBD-3 mRNA has also been detected in the airways by RT-PCR. While hBD-3 may be involved in antimicrobial defences within the respiratory trac

Human β-defensins (hBDs), which are mainly expressed in epithelial tissues, may contribute to infection-protective mechanisms in the ocular surface. We examined hBD1 and hBD2 expression in the ocular surface by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry and st

Eighteen patients with miliary tuberculosis (MTB) were admitted to our hospital from 1994 to 2003. The mean age of the patients was 63.9 years (range 19-92). Past history of tuberculosis was recognized in one case. Six cases suffered from another und

Human beta-defensin (HBD)-1 and -2 are antimicrobial peptides present in the respiratory tract. Recent reports have indicated reduced activity of beta-defensins in cystic fibrosis, suggesting that beta-defensins may play an important role in the path

Background: Neutrophils are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Human neutrophils contain antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides in the azurophil granules which belong to a family of mammalian n

A 75-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted to our hospital because of fever and nausea. Urinary catheterization yielded a large amount of white urine (Figure 1). Non-enhanced abdominal computed tomography showed hyperdense fluid in th

Background. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that constitute 30% to 50% of total azurophil granule proteins. Although the activation of azurophils during hemodialysis has been reported, including the release of granulocyte lactoferrin, myeloperox

Human β-defensin-1 (hBD-1) is a 36-amino-acid antimicrobial peptide that functions in the host innate defense. We developed a highly sensitive radioimmunoassay for hBD-1 and identified several hBD-1 peptides in human kidney, urine, and plasma by ami

Human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2), a novel antimicrobial peptide, was originally isolated from human skin. We found that synthetic hBD-2 has high bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli under conditions nearly the same as in human bronchial airway
