A family of helminth molecules that modulate innate cell responses via molecular mimicry of host antimicrobial peptides.
Over the last decade a significant number of studies have highlighted the central role of host antimicrobial (or defence) peptides in modulating the response of innate immune cells to pathogen-associated ligands. In humans, the most widely studied antimicrobial peptide is LL-37, a 37-residue peptide...
