A formyl peptide substituted with a conformationally constrained phenylalanine residue evokes a selective immune response in human neutrophils
Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-OH (fMLP) binds to formyl peptide receptors, FPR1 and FPR2, and evokes migration and superoxide anion production in human neutrophils. To obtain a more effective and selective ligand, fMLP analogs in which the Phe residue was substitute
