desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), we found the chicken heterophils teemed with avian beta defensin 2 (AvBD2) isoform. The heterophils play a crucial role in innate immunity defending against microbial pathogens. Because heterophils undergo activation through their membrane bound “Toll-like receptors (TLR)”that recognize “pathogen associated molecules,” we wa...
