Antimicrobial Activity of Apidermin 2 from the Honeybee <i>Apis mellifera</i>

Apidermins (APDs) are known as structural cuticular proteins in insects, but their additional roles are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized the honeybee, <i>Apis mellifera</i>, APD 2 (AmAPD 2), which displays activity suggesting antimicrobial properties. In <i>A. mel...
