Abstract:
Human neutrophils defensins, e.g., human neutrophils peptides (HNP), had been found in polymorphonuclear neutrophil and shown broad antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity and chemotaxis as an important family of human innate defence components. The researches on defensins is becoming a worldwide major focus of biological and medical attention nowadays. The researches on molecular characteristics, biological and pathophysiological activities of HNP are reviewed.
