Expression and Functional Characterization of a Novel Antimicrobial Peptide: Human Beta-Defensin 118

<div>Phylogenetic analysis of beta-defensin 118. (a) Prediction model of DEFB118; (b) phylogenetic analysis of beta-defensin 118 in Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla, and Nomascus leucogenys was performed by DNAMAN 8.0; (c) amino acid sequences of beta-defensin 118 in <i>Homo sapiens</i>, <i>Pan troglodytes</i>, <i>Gorilla gorilla</i>, and <i>Nomascus leucogenys</i> were aligned by DNAMAN 8.0.</div>
