Gene expression of AvBD6-10 in broiler chickens is independent of AvBD6, 9, and 10 peptide potency

These data suggest that in healthy broiler chicken tissues AvBD6/7 and AvBD8-10 gene expression profiles are independent of the in vitro antimicrobial hierarchies of the encoded AvBD6, 9 and 10 peptides.
