Bactericidal cationic protein in leucocytes of marine mammals

Age changes of bactericidal cationic protein (CP) amount in blood leucocytes of bottle-nosed dolphins, grey and harp seals have been revealed. Investigated marine mammals have lower CP contents than terrestrial animals. Possibly, CP plays a supporting role in bactericidal system of granulocytes of marine mammals, as compared to myeloperoxidase, especially at early stages of postnatal ontogenesis.
