Abstract: Background Esculentin-1, initially discovered in the skin secretions of pool frogs ( Pelophylax lessonae ), has demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however, its immunomodulatory properties have received little attention. Results In the present study, esculentin-1 cDNA… read more here.
