The Gibberellin Stimulated-Like (GSL) or Snakin peptides from higher plants are cysteine-rich， with broad spectrum activity against a range of bacterial and fungal pathogens. To detect GSL peptides in applications such as western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)， specific antibodies that recognise GSL peptides are required. However， the intrinsic antimicrobial activity of these peptides is likely to prevent their expression alone in bacterial or yeast expression systems for subsequent antibody production in animal hosts.
