Biochem Biophys Res Commun
January 2014
Article Synopsis
- Infections in the female reproductive tract can negatively impact fertility and reproduction.
- The study analyzed the antimicrobial properties of fluids from a cow's reproductive system and found that certain compounds, specifically in the molecular mass range of 3500 to 30,000, were responsible for this activity.
- Histones, particularly H2B type 1-K, were identified as key antimicrobial agents, with their role further validated using specific antibodies.
