Exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant bovine β-defensins for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory functions in sepsis management

open access: yesVeterinary Research
β-defensins are multifunctional peptides of the host immune system involved in responses to infectious diseases. We investigated the potential of five recombinant proteins based on bovine β-defensins (bovine neutrophil β-defensins (BNBD) 1, 2, 3, and 4 ...
