Özet

Background: Human beta-defensin-2 is an antimicrobial weapon peptide with antibiotic properties secreted by the oral cavity to protect the host against microbial attack. The interindividual differences of defensin expression profiles due to genetic variation might be partly responsible for differences in disease susceptibility.
