Constitutive expression of antimicrobial peptide PR-39 in transgenic mice significantly enhances resistance to bacterial infection and promotes growth.

abstract：:It is generally believed that too high or low levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a strong vasoconstrictor, may be detrimental to animals. Therefore, in order to understand the in vivo function of ET-1, we used a conditional transgenic approach, Cre/loxP recombination system, to generate transgenic mice that over-express E...
