The isolation of potent antibacterial proteins and peptides from human and animal phagocytes has raised the possibility that these'antibiotics from within'can be used as therapeutic agents. Problems in delivery to and toxicity towards the host must be faced, but rapid progress in defining the structural determinants of the cytotoxic action of these naturally occurring cytotoxins provides a basis for biotechnological development of new classes of antibiotics. organisms. In higher organisms, different types of phagocytes can be distinguished; polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), many types of macrophages and eosinophils. One component of the granuleassociated proteins that has little or no cytotoxic activity by itself, but that plays a major role in the phagocyte's antimicrobial functions is myeloperoxidase (MPO). MPO amplifies the effects of the cytotoxic O2-derivatives produced during the respiratory burst that accompanies phagocytosis, presumably by aiding their delivery and that of C1-or other halide ions to target cells with binding affinity for MPO (Ref. 1). In addition, the MPO-mediated formation of highly re-All living organisms exist in an environment teeming with potentially harmful microbes. Nevertheless, there are only relatively few major disruptions (epidemics) in the natural balance between a given animal species and its microbial pathogens, and this reflects a highly effective host-defense system against serious infections. In humans, this is also evident from the fact that most of us escape major infectious disease, after early childhood and before the last stages of our lives, if our resistance is not impaired by other illness.
