Table 2.
Indolicidin and ARVA peptide fragments identified after incubation with human serum or RBCs. Termini that are still intact are marked by as asterisk. Blank cells indicate that a particular fragment was not observed in one set of experiments. These fragment lists are not meant to be comprehensive, but rather show a population of detectable species that are present at one time point during degradation.
