Defensins are small, cationic, cyclic peptides that are abundantly stored in granules of neutrophils. Defensins non-specifically interact with membranes by forming weakly ion-selective pores. Here we demonstrate immunolocalization of defensin-secreting cells in human brain. Defensins, secreted by ac
