Protective role of human beta-defensin-2 and cathelicidin in high risk close household contacts of pulmonary tuberculosis

Protective role of human beta-defensin-2 and cathelicidin in high risk close household contacts of pulmonary tuberculosis

Host-defense peptides (HDPs) such as human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) and cathelicidin (LL37) are essential components of innate immune response against tuberculosis (TB) infection, which could also be assessed for diagnostic potential in spectrum of TB infection.
