Proteomic Investigation of Salivary Biomarkers in Periodontal Diseases
… concentration of human neutrophil peptide 1-3 (HNP 1-3), cathelicidin LL-37 and protein S100A8 were tested. Copy number variation for HNP 1-3 gene, DEFA1A3 was tested in an independent cohort and the data analysed for association with presence and degree of periodontal disease. -- Results: …

Antimicrobial Activity of Human Leukocyte Defensin HNP-4 Against Gram-negative Bacteria
… four peptides known as alpha (α)-defensins or HNP 1-4. The peptides have broad-spectrum antibiotic activity. HNP 1-3 are major neutrophil components. They differ by only one amino acid residue. HNP-4 is found in small amounts, and has a different sequence. HNP-4 purified from neutrophils was …

Activity of Epithelial Defensin HBD-3 Against a Periodontal Pathogen
… α-defensins known as Human Neutrophil Peptide (HNP) 1-4. Epithelial cells produce four β-defensins known as Human Beta Defensin (HBD) 1-4. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria that are associated with periodontal disease are resistant to human α-defensins, but are killed by β-defensins. </p> <p> …
