Synergistic effect of interleukin 1 alpha on nontypeable <it>Haemophilus influenzae</it>-induced up-regulation of human beta-defensin 2 in middle ear epithelial cells
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We recently showed that beta-defensins have antimicrobial activity against nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and that interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) up-regulates the transcription of beta-defensin 2 (DEFB4 according to new...
