A <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i> Hemocyanin-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide (Peptide B11) Attenuates Cancer Cells’ Proliferation

Antimicrobial peptides play important roles in the immune response to pathogens and tumor cells; for this reason, they are being exploited for therapeutic use. In this study, we describe a <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i> hemocyanin-derived peptide, denoted B11, which shares similar features...
