The detection limit of Smp43 is at the μM level which is within the limit of detection for AMPS with Smp43 exhibiting antimicrobial properties between 0.9 and 28 μM.33 AMPs are currently being designed in their own right for the selective targeting of cancer cells as well as bacterial cells and our platform, with different lipid coatings could thus find application as a rapid ‘non-animal’ based screening platform to evaluate the efficacy of these new AMPs. This evidence concerns the gene ADSL and cancer.
