Modulation of ovine SBD-1 expression by 17beta-estradiol in ovine oviduct epithelial cells

Modulation of ovine SBD-1 expression by 17beta-estradiol in ovine oviduct epithelial cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mucosal epithelia, including those of the oviduct, secrete antimicrobial innate immune molecules (AIIMS). These have bactericidal/bacteriostatic functions against a variety of pathogens. Among the AIIMs, sheep β-defensin-1 (SBD-1) is...
