From: Antimicrobial peptide β-defensin-1 expression is upregulated in Alzheimer’s brain
hBD-1 expression is increased in the AD CP epithelium. hBD-1 mRNA expression in the CP epithelium from AD brain (n = 8) shows a statistically significant (*P = 0.02) elevation in peptide expression, compared to age-matched control tissue (n = 7) (A). Results are expressed as the mean ± S.E. No statistically significant difference in hBD-1 mRNA expression was found between the hippocampus from AD brain (n = 11) compared to age-matched controls (n = 8) (B).
