Genetically engineered human salivary histatin genes are functional in Candida albicans: development of a new system for studying histatin candidacial activity

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the histatins, histidine-rich proteins from the family of the salivary proteins. The study of the histatin action mechanism has been carried out via the constructing of the Candida albicans strains containing chromosomally encoded human salivary histatin genes controlled by the regulated promoter and the details are reported.
