Antibody complementarity-determining regions (CDRs): a bridge between adaptive and innate immunity.
BACKGROUND:It has been documented that, independently from the specificity of the native antibody (Ab) for a given antigen (Ag), complementarity determining regions (CDR)-related peptides may display differential antimicrobial, antiviral and antitumor activities.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:In this study we demonstrate that a synthetic peptide wi
