Difference between Defensin and White blood cell

Defensin vs. White blood cell

Defensins are small cysteine-rich cationic proteins found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

Similarities between Defensin and White blood cell

Defensin and White blood cell have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antibiotic, Bacteria, Crohn's disease, Fungus, Herpes simplex virus, HIV, Immune system, Natural killer cell, Neutrophil, Pathogen, T cell, Virus.

Antibiotic

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.

Neutrophil

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes) are the most abundant type of granulocytes and the most abundant (40% to 70%) type of white blood cells in most mammals.

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος pathos "suffering, passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") or a '''germ''' in the oldest and broadest sense is anything that can produce disease; the term came into use in the 1880s.
