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.
