    Description

    LL-37, human TFA is a 37-residue, amphipathic, cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, which exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. LL-37, human TFA could help protect the cornea from infection and modulates wound healing[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    LL-37, human TFA (1-20 μg/mL; 24 h) affects HCECs migration[2].
    LL-37, human TFA (0.0001-5 μg/mL; 6-24 h) affects cytokine secretion in HCECs[2].
    LL-37, human TFA (1-100 μg/mL; 24 h) shows dose-dependently cytotoxic to HCECs at concentrations over 10 μg/mL[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
