Topics Covered

• Definition of Alarmins and Damps
• History of discovery that antimicrobial peptides such as Beta Defensins recruit and activate immune cells engaged in host defense
• Identification of other antimicrobials such as granulysin and nuclear binding factors, e.g. HMGN1, as also acting as alarmins that activate receptors on host cells
• Proposal to use some alarmins as vaccine adjuvants
