HBD-2 interactions with erythrocyte membranes in vitro
HBD-2 – a member of β-defensin family of antimicrobial peptides – is known to permeabilize cell membranes of susceptible cells, but the mechanism of such interactions is poorly understood. In our study, we have used a hemolytic model to explore the kinetic properties of HBD-2 interactions with membr...
