Synthetic 1 µM LL-37 or 1 µM CRAMP was added to S. epidermidis supernatants. a, δ-toxin was precipitated and immunoblotted for LL-37 or CRAMP. Immunoblots show co-precipitation of LL-37 or CRAMP with δ-toxin indicating binding. The left and right panels were stained for LL-37 or CRAMP, respectively. The LL-37 or CRAMP positive control standards are shown in the left lane of each panel. The middle and right lanes show relative quantities of LL-37 or CRAMP that precipitated with δ-toxin using anti δ-toxin (right lane) or IgG control to anti δ-toxin (middle lane) b, emission spectra of δ-toxin's tryptophan in buffer or in the presence of LL-37, CRAMP, hBD2, or hBD3. c, table of maximal wavelength emission and shift in wavelength upon addition of host antimicrobial peptide. Data are representative of 2 individual experiments.
