Determination of alpha-defensin levels in dynamics in newborns with sepsis
Сучасна педіатрія: УкраїнаAim - to investigate some pathogenetic mechanisms of immune system changes during sepsis in premature and full-term infants by determining the levels of alpha-defensin. Materials and methods. A total of 130 newborns were examined.

BMC Cancer, 2010 Background It is known that alpha-defensin expression is enhanced in colon cancer. However, the expression of human alpha defensin 6 (DEFA 6) in earlier stages, such as adenoma, has so far not yet been studied in a patient resolved manner.

Alpha Defensins Genes and Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: A Study of Cases
Open Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2015 Objective: To evaluate the alpha-defensin (α-DF) genes polymorphism in women with vulvovaginal candidiasis and recurrence. Methods: This observational study included clinical vaginal secretion samples collected over four years from 88 women, ranging in age from 18 to 65 years, from medical centers of Sao Paulo and Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil. Thirty-six of

Alpha defensin expression in white blood cells [PDF]
Copy number variation (CNV) accounts for a large proportion of genetic variation. The DEFA1A3 CNV has variable numbers of copies of the DEFA1 and DEFA3 genes that encode alpha defensins 1-3, antimicrobial peptides abundant in human neutrophils ...

Human alpha defensin 5 expression in the human kidney and urinary tract.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe mechanisms that maintain sterility in the urinary tract are incompletely understood. Recent studies have implicated the importance of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) in protecting the urinary tract from infection.
