Anti-HIV Activity of Human Defensin 5 in Primary CD4+ T Cells under Serum-Deprived Conditions Is a Consequence of Defensin-Mediated Cytotoxicity

BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that human defensin 5 (HD5) promotes HIV infectivity in both primary CD4+ T cells and HeLa cells expressing CD4 and CCR5. HD5 is induced in response to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, suggesting it p...
