Abstract
Six phage clones containing gene members of the family of antimicrobial peptides named cathelicidins, were mapped to bovine chromosome 22q24, by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization. The mapping data suggest the clustering of cathelicidins into a CATHL@ locus, in a similar manner as for β-defensins, another family of antimicrobial peptides, defining the locus DEFB@ mapped to 27q13→q14.Keywords
