Lucifensin, the long-sought antimicrobial factor of medicinal maggots of the blowfly Lucilia sericata
Original language description
A novel homolog of insect defensin designated lucifensin (Lucilia defensin) was purified from the extracts of various tissues of the green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) larvae and from their excretions/secretions. The primary sequence of this peptide of40 residues and three intramolecular disulfide bridges was determined by ESI-QTOF mass spectrometry and Edman degradation. It is proposed that lucifensin is that long-sought larger molecular weight antimicrobial factor of the Lucilia sericata excretions/secretions supposed to be effective against pathogenic elements of the wound microbial flora during the medicinal process known as maggot therapy.
