| host defense peptides in skin secretions of odorrana tiannanensis: proof for other survival strategy of the frog than merely anti-microbial. | genus odorrana, among all amphibians studied, is generally reported to have the most abundant and diversified anti-microbial peptides even from a single individual frog. in our previous work, 46 cdna sequences encoding precursors of 22 different anti-microbial peptides (amps) were characterized from the skin of frog, odorrana tiannanensis. in this work, we reported the purification of three amps from skin secretions of o. tiannanensis. their amino acid sequences matched well with the sequences d ... | 2012 | 21963433 |
