Duplication and selection in the evolution of primate β-defensin genes
BACKGROUND: Innate immunity is the first line of defense against microorganisms in vertebrates and acts by providing an initial barrier to microorganisms and triggering adaptive immune responses. Peptides such as β-defensins are an important component of this defense, providing a broad spectrum of a...
