Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils.
2.
The identification of novel microbicidal compounds is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of research,
3.
Nox2, or Cytochrome b (-245 ) is composed of microbicidal oxidase system of phagocytes.
4.
These findings fueled hopes that it could be used not only for contraceptive but also for microbicidal purposes,
5.
This agent exhibits a broad range of microbicidal activity against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses.
6.
The alpha defensins are a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides that defend the host against bacteria and viruses.
7.
Cytokine signals produced by helper T cells enhance the microbicidal function of macrophages and the activity of killer T cells.
8.
They are capable of evading the microbicidal actions of macrophages, which can kill ordinary pathogens using reactive nitrogen and oxygen intermediates.
9.
Vitamin D up-regulates genetic expression of cathelicidin, which exhibits broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
10.
This gene encodes the light, alpha subunit, which has been proposed as a primary component of the microbicidal oxidase system of phagocytes.
