Sentence examples for binds to host AMPs from inspiring English sources
Overall, these data illustrate that δ-toxin directly interacts with, and binds to, host AMPs.
Overall, we show here that δ-toxin is able to bind to host AMPs.
These traps are formed when AMPs bind to host DNA, histones and proteases to form a matrix that entraps and kills invading pathogens [22].
Borreliae are obligatorily bound to host organisms for survival.
Since previous studies suggest that AMPs form heterodimeric and homodimeric complexes [21], and because we found that δ-toxin colocalizes with LL-37 in NETs, we hypothesized that δ-toxin physically binds to the host derived AMPs.
