that expression levels of PBD-2 in different tissues of transgenic ( TG ) piglets were significantly higher than those of their wild - type ( WT ) littermates .
that there was a significant increase in the antimicrobial properties of the cell culture supernatants of porcine ear fibroblasts from the TG pigs
Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analyses indicated that expression levels of PBD-2 in different tissues of transgenic ( TG ) piglets were significantly higher than those of their wild - type ( WT ) littermates .
Bactericidal assays demonstrated that there was a significant increase in the antimicrobial properties of the cell culture supernatants of porcine ear fibroblasts from the TG pigs in comparison to those from the WT pigs .
