Abstract excerpt

1. cDNA clones encoding antimicrobial guinea-pig neutrophil cationic peptides, GNCP-1 and GNCP-2 were isolated from a bone marrow cell cDNA library. 2. Three kinds of cDNAs (GNCP-1A, GNCP-1B and GNCP-2 cDNAs) were obtained, and the analysis of these cDNAs indicated that GNCPs were produced as pre...
