Journal Article
Abedin, A., Mohammed, I., Hopkinson, A., & Dua, H. S. (2008). A novel antimicrobial peptide on the ocular surface shows decreased expression in inflammation and infection. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 49(1), (28-33). doi:10.1167/iovs.07-0645. ISSN 1552-5783

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...
