Rabbit granulocytes contain six antimicrobial peptides that are structurally homologous to the human neutrophil "defensins." NP-5, a rabbit defensin, lacks significant activity against Candida albicans. Nevertheless, its addition to submicromolar concentrations of rabbit NP-1, NP-2, or NP-3a potentiates their candidacidal effect. Thus, granulocyte defensins can act synergistically against potential pathogens.
兔粒细胞含有六种抗菌肽,其结构与人类中性粒细胞“防御素”同源。兔防御素NP-5对白色念珠菌缺乏显著活性。然而,将其添加到亚微摩尔浓度的兔NP-1、NP-2或NP-3a中可增强它们的杀念珠菌作用。因此,粒细胞防御素可协同作用对抗潜在病原体。
