Peptide activating macrophages

DESCRIPTION

• Naturally occurring recombinant peptide:
  
  • Able to activate macrophage’s cytotoxic functions against pathogens recognized by type C lectin receptors (bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites) and tumor cells
  • Enabling the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • Specific activation of macrophages at the tumor site
  • Displaying no direct microbicide activity
  • Depicting no evident cytotoxicity (on human erythrocytes and monocytes)
• In vitro and in vivo efficacy data on murine model of Candida albicans
• In vitro efficacy data on lymphoma model and colon cancer cells

APPLICATIONS

• Anti-tumor agent
• Anti-infectious agent: bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites
