Antimicrobial and Immunomodulatory Effects of Selected Chemokine and Antimicrobial Peptide on Cytokine Profile during Typhimurium Infection in Mouse.

The antimicrobial and immunomodulatory capacities of the peptide Css54 and the chemokine MCP-1 were tested. The first, a peptide isolated from the venom of the scorpion was synthesized chemically. In contrast, the second is a monocyte chemoattractant expressed as a recombinant protein in our lab.
