Expression of human beta-defensins in children with chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
BACKGROUND: Human beta-defensins (hBDs) are antimicrobial peptides known to play a major role in intestinal innate host defence. Altered mucosal expression of hBDs has been suggested to be implicated in chronic inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis. However, little is known about expression of the...
