beta-Defensin 3 Antibody

Defensin beta 3 is a novel, nonhemolytic antimicrobial peptide (human beta-defensin-3, hBD-3) was isolated from human lesional psoriatic scales and clones from keratinocytes. hBD-3 demonstrated a salt-insensitive broad spectrum of potent antimicrobial activity against many potentially pathogenic microbes including multiresistant S. aureus and vancomyosin-resistant Entoerococcus faecium. Keratinocytes and airway epithelial cells are cellular sources of hBD-3. Tumor necrosis factor alpha and contact with bacteria were found to induce hBD-3 mRNA expression. hBD-3, therefore, might be important in the innate epithelial defense of infections by various microorganisms seen in skin and lung, such as cystic fibrosis.
