'''(1) Anionic peptides''' - Small anionic peptides rich in glutamic and aspartic acids from sheep, cattle and humans - they present in surfactant extracts, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and airway epithelial cells. They are produced in mM concentrations, require zinc as a cofactor for antimicrobial activity and are active against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria. | '''(1) Anionic peptides''' - Small anionic peptides rich in glutamic and aspartic acids from sheep, cattle and humans - they present in surfactant extracts, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and airway epithelial cells.
