Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of lizards: a first comprehensive characterization of beta-defensins, ovo-defensins and cathelicidins from Podarcis lilfordi and closely related Lacertidae species

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of lizards: a first comprehensive characterization of beta-defensins, ovo-defensins and cathelicidins from Podarcis lilfordi and closely related Lacertidae species

Abstract Background Reptiles exhibit remarkable resistance to infections, making them a critical model for studying the molecular basis of innate immunity. Key components of their innate immune response are the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), small, rapidly evolving molecules with a broad spectrum of...
