Characterization of a New Immunosuppressive and Antimicrobial Peptide, DRS-DA2, Isolated from the Mexican Frog, Pachymedusa dacnicolor by Claire Lacombe, Estefania Aleman-Navaro, Thierry Drujon, Veronica Martinez-Osorio, Emmanuelle Sachon, Erika Melchy-Pérez, Ludovic Carlier, Lorena Elizabeth Fajardo Brigido, Yannick Fleury, Christophe Piesse, Guadalupe Gutiérrez-Escobedo, Alejandro De las Peñas, Irene Castaño, Florie Desriac, Jose Luis Beristain-Hernandez, Christophe Combadiere, Yvonne Rosenstein, Constance Auvynet

“…After the induction of peritonitis, a local injection of DRS-DA2N could decrease the number of inflammatory cells locally in the peritoneal cavity without inducing a systemic effect, as no changes in the number of inflammatory cells could be detected in blood or in the bone marrow. Collectively, these data suggest that this peptide could be a promising tool in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory skin diseases, as it could reduce the number of inflammatory cells locally without suppressing the ability to combat infections.…”
