Loss of the homeostatic protein BPIFA1, leads to exacerbation of otitis media severity in the Junbo mouse model
Abstract Otitis Media (OM) is characterized by epithelial abnormalities and defects in innate immunity in the middle ear (ME). Although, BPIFA1, a member of the BPI fold containing family of putative innate defence proteins is abundantly expressed by the ME epithelium and SNPs in Bpifa1 have been as...

Abstract Otitis Media (OM) is characterized by epithelial abnormalities and defects in innate immunity in the middle ear (ME).
