The evolution of antimicrobial peptides in Chiroptera

The evolution of antimicrobial peptides in Chiroptera

High viral tolerance coupled with an extraordinary regulation of the immune response makes bats a great model to study host-pathogen evolution. Although many immune-related gene gains and losses have been previously reported in bats, important gene families such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) rema...
