Interactions of alpha-, beta-, and theta-defensins with influenza A virus and surfactant protein D

We have reported that the alpha-defensins human neutrophil peptides (HNP)-1 and HNP-2 neutralize and aggregate influenza A virus (IAV) and promote uptake of IAV by neutrophils. These alpha-defensins were also shown to bind to surfactant protein (SP)-D and reduce its antiviral activity. In this study...
