A novel antimicrobial peptide on the ocular surface shows decreased expression in inflammation and infection
(2008)
Journal Article
PURPOSE: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are cationic host defense peptides with microbicidal and cell-signaling properties. They show promise as potential therapeutic agents. In the present study, a beta-defensin AMP gene was isolated from the ocular...
