Human beta defensins (hBD) are important host defense molecules at the ocular surface. In addition to their antimicrobial activities, hBD may also act as regulatory factors in recruiting and activating immune cells. Only hBD-1 – hBD-4 have been well characterised. To date, a complete profile of the...
