Human platelets and megakaryocytes express defensin alpha 1

22 May 2019

Abstract excerpt

Platelets are anucleate cells that have a role in several innate immune functions, including the secretion of proteins with antimicrobial activity. Several studies have demonstrated the ability of platelets to secrete thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal proteins and antimicrobial peptides, like hBD-1. However, the expression and secretion of defensins of the alpha family by platelets have not been fully...
