Abstract

See full text

A method for treating cutaneous and corneal wounds as well as certain microbial-related diseases comprises topically applying a defensin peptide to the affected tissue. The compositions comprise a natural, synthetic, or analog defensin molecule having both a mitogenic activity capable of stimulating cell growth and an antimicrobial activity capable of inhibiting the growth of a wide variety of pathogens. In addition to therapeutic use, the defensins are useful as mitogens in cell and tissue culture media.
