AMPs can directly bind to various cell surfaces or intracellular receptors on immune cells, triggering the expression of chemokines and cytokines to attract antigen-presenting cells at the site of infection, and then activate immature or nonfunctional T cells, neutrophils, natural killer cells and dendritic cells, eliminating pathogens by inducing humoral and adaptive immunity [189,190,191]. This evidence concerns the gene ADSL and infection.
