Biochemical Society Focused Meeting
Proceedings of invited speakers will be published in Biochemical Society Transactions
Mammalian antimicrobial proteins, including the defensins and cathelicidins contribute to host, innate, antimicrobial defence by disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane. Several members of the mammalian antimicrobial proteins have also been shown recently to have broader effects on host cells.
In this meeting, the structure and function of antimicrobial peptides will be considered and the mechanisms of how these molecules function to exert effects upon host defence and innate immune processes.
Abstract submission is now closed!
