Kim, So Young; Zhang, Fuming; Gong, Wanghua; Chen, Keqiang; Xia, Kai; Liu, Fei; Gross, Richard; Wang, Ji Ming; Linhardt, Robert J.; Cotten, Myriam L. (Elsevier, 2018-10-05)Phagocytic cells in fish secrete antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as piscidins, glycosaminoglycans such as heparin, and copper ions as first-line immune defenses. Recently, we established that Cu2+ coordination by piscidins ...
