C. albicans (3×107 cells/ml ammonium bicarbonate buffer) cells were incubated with 10, 25 or 100 μM histatin 5 or LL-37. Cells were centrifuged after 1 h incubation and supernatants were analysed by SDS/PAGE. Lane 1, 75 pmol LL-37; lane 2, supernatant of C. albicans treated with 10 μM LL-37; lane 3, supernatant of C. albicans treated with 25 μM LL-37; lane 4, supernatant of C. albicans treated with 100 μM LL-37; lane 5, supernatant of C. albicans treated with 100 μM histatin 5; lane 6, 75 pmol histatin 5. Data are representative of three separate experiments.
