抗菌肽的免疫调节功能及其作用机制

Immunomodulatory function and action mechanism of antimicrobial peptides

抗菌肽存在于自然界的各种生物体中,包括昆虫、植物、哺乳动物以及非哺乳类的脊椎动物。文章重点阐述了抗菌肽的概念、特性及多种生物学功能,介绍了其在抗炎和免疫调节中的作用机制,也阐述了作者对抗菌肽在科学研究和疾病治疗方面发展趋势的看法。

Antimicrobial peptides are found in every complex species, existing in organisms from in-sects, plants to mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. This paper expatiates the concept, charac-teristics and varied biological function of antimicrobial peptides, and introduces its anti-inflammatoryand immunomodulatory mechanisms. The author also elaborates on scientific research and therapeuticstrends of antimicrobial peptides.
