 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 41 Insect antibacterial peptides and genetic engineering research Abstract insect antimicrobial peptides are a class of immune effects of small molecular peptides, it has a heat-stable, broad spectrum anti-bacterial, non-immunogenicity, and other characteristics of the unique mechanism of action is to be able to withstand natural insect infestation of harmful micro-organisms important factor. In recent years, with the role of the mechanism and function of antimicrobial peptides in-depth, and its pharmaceutical research in the field has drawn increasing attention. In this paper, the classification of insect antimicrobial peptides, biological functions, genetic engineering research as well as in the application of the field of medicine are reviewed. Keywords: insect; antimicrobial peptide; genetic engineering Abstract: Insect antimicrobial peptide is a kind of polypeptide which has the specific immunity from bacteria, fungi, virus and other pathogenic microorganisms. It has such characters as heat-durability, broad-spectrum antibiotic, no immunogen and specific mechanism, et a1. Recently , insect antimicrobial peptide has been widely used in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases with the background and application research on it. This paper briefly reviews its classification its biological functions, the development on genetic engineering and the application in medicine. Keywords:: insect; antimicrobial peptides; genetic engineering Insects are the largest biological populations in nature, have been identified and named about 80 thousand species, accounting for about 55% of all species, in addition to the marine, the other almost all of the ecological environment in both the distribution of a wide variety of Insect populations [1]. However, the study found that domestic and foreign scholars, insects, there is no B and T lymphocytes, and no immune globulin, as higher animals do not have a hi
