Polymorphisms of the human beta-defensin-1 gene.

Molecular and cellular probes - 1 Jun 1998

Dörk T, Stuhrmann M

Abstract excerpt

Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that play an important role in innate immunity. The authors have searched for intragenic polymorphisms of the recently cloned human beta-defensin-1 gene (HBD-1) whose gene product is expressed in the lung and whose function seems to be compromised in cystic fibrosis. Four frequent restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the HBD-1 cDNA sequence are described here, three of...
