Proposed anti-infective action of peptide BCCY-1. Monocytes/macrophages, T/B lymphocytes and neutrophils are all involved in the host defense against bacterial infection. The human β-casein-derived peptide BCCY-1 enhances the production of chemokines, such as MCP-1. As a result, monocytes/macrophages are recruited to the infection site and assist in resolving bacterial infections (e.g. E.coli).
