Kun ihminen katsoo, että hengitysilma on raikasta ja suyösiten tavallista ruokaansa ja juo vettä riittävästi, niin kyllä genomi alkaa ilmentää tarpeen mukaan sopivia luonnollisen puolustuksen aineita tarvittavan nopeasti ia tilanteeseen vastaavalla tavalla.
Tästä AMP- aiheesta on hakusanalla " Antimicrobial proteins and polypeptides in pulmonaruy innate defence" useita kymmeniä vastauksia. Olin etsimässä juuri tämän nimistä vuodelta 2006 ja sen kirjottajat ovat Rogen, Geraghty et al. ja löysinkin juuri tämän: Anna Lundinin väitöskirjassa( 2013) annetaan tämä artikkeli viitteeksi. Siteeraan sen.Löysin samalta työryhmältä 3 artikkelia:

Abstract
Inspired air 
contains a myriad of potential pathogens, pollutants and inflammatory 
stimuli. In the normal lung, these pathogens are rarely problematic. 
This is because the epithelial lining fluid in the lung is rich in many 
innate immunity proteins and peptides that provide a powerful 
anti-microbial screen. These defensive proteins have anti-bacterial, 
anti- viral and in some cases, even anti-fungal properties. Their 
antimicrobial effects are as diverse as inhibition of biofilm formation 
and prevention of viral replication. The innate immunity proteins and 
peptides also play key immunomodulatory roles. They are involved in many
 key processes such as opsonisation facilitating phagocytosis of 
bacteria and viruses by macrophages and monocytes. They act as important
 mediators in inflammatory pathways and are capable of binding bacterial
 endotoxins and CPG motifs. They can also influence expression of 
adhesion molecules as well as acting as powerful anti-oxidants and 
anti-proteases. Exciting new antimicrobial and immunomodulatory 
functions are being elucidated for existing proteins that were 
previously thought to be of lesser importance. The potential therapeutic
 applications of these proteins and peptides in combating infection and 
preventing inflammation are the subject of ongoing research that holds 
much promise for the future.
