KPV, microbes and selective cultivation

Reading list

Microbial cultures, host-cell responses and the materials used to bring a peptide to tissue.

Cultures, cells and a wound gel

The antimicrobial culture paper starts this collection. Its organisms give the word growth a particular object. The macrophage and keratinocyte studies then put the host’s own cells into the picture.

The macrophage and peritonitis experiment separates two responses: KPV reduced polymorphonuclear leukocyte accumulation in mice with crystal-induced peritonitis, while it did not suppress cytokine release in cultured macrophages in vitro. It is useful resistance to a tidy account of KPV. The hydrogel papers add questions about the preparation carrying the peptide.
