The innate defense regulator peptides IDR-HH2, IDR-1002, and IDR-1018 modulate human neutrophil functions.
Although HDPs were originally hypothesized to act as antimicrobial agents, they also have been shown to broadly modulate the immune response through the activation of different cell types. We recently developed a series of novel, synthetic peptides, termed IDRs, which are conceptually based on a natural HDP, bovine bactenecin. We showed that IDR-1 and IDR-1002 protect the host against bacterial...
متن کاملAbility of Innate Defence Regulator Peptides IDR-1002, IDR-HH2 and IDR-1018 to Protect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections in Animal Models
Tuberculosis is an ongoing threat to global health, especially with the emergence of multi drug-resistant (MDR) and extremely drug-resistant strains that are motivating the search for new treatment strategies. One potential strategy is immunotherapy using Innate Defence Regulator (IDR) peptides that selectively modulate innate immunity, enhancing chemokine induction and cell recruitment while s...
متن کاملSynthetic Cationic Peptide IDR-1018 Modulates Human Macrophage Differentiation
Macrophages play a critical role in the innate immune response. To respond in a rapid and efficient manner to challenges in the micro-environment, macrophages are able to differentiate towards classically (M1) or alternatively (M2) activated phenotypes. Synthetic, innate defense regulators (IDR) peptides, designed based on natural host defence peptides, have enhanced immunomodulatory activities...
متن کاملIDR: the ImmunoDeficiency Resource
The ImmunoDeficiency Resource (IDR), freely available at http://www.uta.fi/imt/bioinfo/idr/, is a comprehensive knowledge base on immunodeficiencies. It is designed for different user groups such as researchers, physicians and nurses as well as patients and their families and the general public. Information on immunodeficiencies is stored as fact files, which are disease- and gene-based informa...
متن کاملSynthetic host defense peptide IDR-1002 reduces inflammation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent cause of lung infections, particularly in chronic infections in cystic fibrosis patients. However, treatment is challenging due to P. aeruginosa evasion of the host immune system and the rise of antibiotic resistant strains. Host defense peptides (HDPs) and synthetic derivatives called innate defense regulators (IDRs) have shown promise in several infection ...
