Pattern of mRNA expression of β-defensins in basal cell carcinoma
23 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the human beta-defensins hBDs today seem to have diverse functional activities in innate antimicrobial immunity, a few reports also indicated an altered expression of these antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in tissues of cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinoma. The present work was aimed on the study of hBD gene expression in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) which is the most common cancer in...
