[Insect antibacterial peptides and its progress in advance on genetic engineering].
Insect antibacterial peptides produced are kinds of bioactive peptides in hameolymph hen insect has been immunized. These peptides have the wide range of antibacterial,antiviral spectrum and inhibiting growth of tumor cell. The types of antibacterial peptides and its physiological activities,cloning and expression of the genes and transgenetic research are summarized. Its application on medicine and gene engineering are prospected.
