| Abstract: | Background During an ascending infection along the reproductive tract, the extra-placental membranes must act as a selective and competent
barrier against pathogens. Human beta defensins (HBD)1, HBD2, and HBD3 are key elements of innate immunity that are secreted
to neutralize/control the progression of infection. |
