Antibiotic peptides are widely distributed in nature. Almost all function as membrane-active agents, disrupting target-cell permeability. Several exhibit a striking selectivity for single-celled microbes over metazoan cells, and as such are amongst the simplest components of the animal's defensive s
Present knowledge of innate immunity in infected cells relies on studies of cell lines and animal models. In this study, primary human pancreatic islets of Langerhans were used to study virus-host interactions in a model of the possible induction of type 1 diabetes by enterovirus (EV). Human islets
