Molecular characterization of antimicrobial peptide genes of the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus.

The production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a major defense mechanism against pathogen infestation and of particular importance for insects relying exclusively on an innate immune system. Here, we report on the characterization of three AMPs from the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus. Due t...
