Bactericidal activity of mammalian histones is caused by large membrane pore formation

Summary: Histones have an important role in eukaryotic innate immunity, wherein histones co-localize with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The mechanism of histone cooperation with AMPs and the extent to which histones form pores both remain a mystery. Here, we show that histones form large pores in b...
