Immunomodulatory Functions of the Human Cathelicidin LL-37 (aa 13–31)-Derived Peptides are Associated with Predicted α-Helical Propensity and Hydrophobic Index

The anti-endotoxin activity of the cationic peptide LL-37 and its derivative IG-19 is attributed to electrostatic interaction of the peptides’ positive charge with negatively charged bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and in part to the alteration of intracellular mechanisms independent of peptide...
