Molecular Evolution of the Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein (BPIFA1) Regulating the Innate Immune Responses in Mammals

Molecular Evolution of the Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein (BPIFA1) Regulating the Innate Immune Responses in Mammals

Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein, a primary factor of the innate immune system of mammals, participates in natural immune protection against invading bacteria. BPIFA1 actively contributes to host defense via multiple mechanisms, such as antibacterial, surfactant, airway surface liquid co...
