General mechanisms by which AMPs exert anti-inflammatory actions on host cells. AMPs can bind to bacterial virulence factors such as LPS or LTA and prevent their interactions with host cells. AMPs are also able to interfere with host cell signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory reaction. The overall consequence is that AMPs reduce the production of inflammatory mediators by these cells that may help in the resolution of inflammation.
