They've got mucoproteins and lysozymes and a high salt content. ❋ Willis, Connie (1994)

The body's defensive army of white blood cells, after all, protects by engulfing and destroying invading bacteria; lysozymes must work by a very different mechanism. ❋ Unknown (2012)

But other work by Dr Otti's colleague Michael Siva-Jothy, who is also based at the University of Sheffield, shows that females protect themselves from the infections introduced during sex with their own lysozymes. ❋ Unknown (2011)

These pathways result in the production of response molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides and lysozymes, which degrade or destroy invaders. ❋ Nicole Gerardo (2010)

Society, wanted to test how well lysozymes, an enzyme found in human tears and other biological fluids that attacks the cell walls of bacteria, could resist anthrax. ❋ Unknown (2010)
