Detection of Avian Beta-defensins mRNA and Proteins in Male Reproductive Organs in Chicken

Detection of Avian Beta-defensins mRNA and Proteins in Male Reproductive Organs in Chicken

The aim of this study was to investigate the innate immune system in male chicken reproductive organs by analyzing the expression of avian beta-defensins (avBDs) genes and localizing the avBDs proteins. The expression of avBDs were analysed by RT-PCR and selected avBDs proteins, including avBD-11 a...
