CATIONIC OLIGOPEPTIDES HAVING MICROBICIDAL ACTIVITY

摘要

CATIONIC OLIGOPEPTIDES HAVING MICROBICIDAL ACTIVITY Novel microbicidal compositions are provided which find use as preservatives, disinfectants, antigens and the like. Particularly, cationic oligopeptides of up to about thirty-five amino acids are provided having amino acid sequences substantially comparable to the amino acid sequences of cationic oligopeptides produced by macrophages and/or neutrophils. A conserved framework structure is provided.
