Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 10/05/09
Meyer–Hoffert U et al. – The human beta defensins (hBDs)–2 and –3 are inducible antimicrobial peptides present in human skin. Besides an important role in fighting bacteria, they also have an antiviral function. Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a cutaneous viral disease caused by the MC virus. Lesions show a tendency towards spontaneous regression, which might be caused by antiviral proteins such as defensins.
