Amblyomma defensin peptide-1 and Amblyomma defensin peptide-2 are non-cationic (anionic) antimicrobial peptides resembling defensins, identified from the hard tick, Amblyomma hebraeum (bont tick) (Lai et al, 2004). The cDNAs have been cloned from a cDNA library of the tick synganglia (central nervous system). The expression of Amblyomma defensin peptide-1 has been shown to be upregulated during 4 days post-feeding. Amblyomma defensin peptide-2 has been purified from the hemolymph of fed female ticks. It displays antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.
