Inhibition of early steps in the lentiviral replication cycle by cathelicidin host defense peptides

Inhibition of early steps in the lentiviral replication cycle by cathelicidin host defense peptides

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The antibacterial activity of host defense peptides (HDP) is largely mediated by permeabilization of bacterial membranes. The lipid membrane of enveloped viruses might also be a target of antimicrobial peptides. Therefore, we screene...
