Figure 8From: Identification, cloning and functional characterization of novel beta-defensins in the rat (Rattus norvegicus)Antibacterial activity of rat DEFB24 and DEFB30. Mid-log phase E. coli were incubated with 1–10 μM DEFB protein for 0–120 min. (□) 0 μM; (△) 1 μM; (▽) 2 μM; (X) 5 μM; (○) 10 μM. Data (Mean ± S.E) shown are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.001 compared to 0 μg/ml.Back to article page
