Lactoferrin and Human Neutrophil Protein (HNP) 1–3 Levels During the Neonatal Period in Preterm Infants

Lactoferrin and Human Neutrophil Protein (HNP) 1–3 Levels During the Neonatal Period in Preterm Infants

Antimicrobial polypeptides (APPs) are part of the innate immune system, but their specific role in the context of preterm birth is not yet understood. The aim of this investigation was to determine the systemic expression of APPs, i.e., lactoferrin (LF) and human neutrophil protein (HNP) 1–3 in pret...
