How host mucosal defenses interact, and influence disease outcome is critical in understanding against pathogens. A more detailed needed of the interactions between functioning its pathogen defense.
The innate immune protection provided by cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) has been shown to extend antiviral activity, with putative mechanisms of action including direct interaction host cells or pathogen membranes. lack therapeutics available for the treatment viruses such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) underscores urgency novel strategies discovery. American alligator plasma exhibit strong in vitro antibacterial and functionalized hydrogel particles have...
