The potential for immunoglobulins and host defense peptides (HDPs) to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal production

Innate defense mechanisms are aimed at quickly containing and removing infectious microorganisms and involve local stromal and immune cell activation, neutrophil recruitment and activation and the induction of host defense peptides (defensins and cathelicidins), acute phase proteins and complement a...
