Recombinant Nonstructural 3 Protein, rNS3, of Hepatitis C Virus Along With Recombinant GP96 Induce IL-12, TNFα and α5integrin Expression in Antigen Presenting Cells
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the main cause of chronic liver disease and to date there has been no vaccine development to prevent this infection. Among non-structural HCV proteins, NS3 protein is an excellent goal for a therapeutic vaccine, due to its large size and less variation in conserved regions. The immunogenic properties of heat shock proteins (HSPs) for instance GP96...
متن کاملrecombinant nonstructural 3 protein, rns3, of hepatitis c virus along with recombinant gp96 induce il-12, tnfα and α5integrin expression in antigen presenting cells
conclusions we have highlighted the role of rns3 plus rnt-gp96 mediated by α5integrin in producing il-12 and tnfα. it can be suggested that rnt-gp96 could enhance immunity characteristic of rns3 protein via production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. results our results showed that rnt-gp96 alone significantly increases the expression level of il-12, tnfα and α5integrin in thp-1 macrophages and d...
متن کاملConstruction and Eukaryotic Expression of Recombinant Large Hepatitis Delta Antigen
Background: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral human pathogen that exploits host RNA editing activity to produce two essential forms of the sole viral protein, hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). Editing at the amber/W site of HDV antigenomic RNA leads to the production of the large form (L-HDAg), which is required for RNA packaging. Methods: In this study, PCR-based site-directed mutagen...
متن کاملConstructions of hepatitis C Virus prophylactic vaccine candidate using Berberis vulgaris stimulated and nonstructural protein 3 loaded dendritic cells
Introduction: Dendritic cells (DCs) have been recently employed as carriers for vaccines against several viral infections. The present study was designed to develop a prophylactic vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) using DCs treated with Berberis vulgaris root extract (BRE), as a preclinical study. Methods: BRE was prepared and injected to female BALB/c mice for DCs expansion. The expanded...
متن کاملDownregulation of IL-12 Production in Healthy Non-Responder Neonates to Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine
A proportion of healthy neonates and adults fail to develop a protective antibody response to recombinant hepatitis B (HB) vaccine. Unresponsiveness to vaccination could be attributed to defect in a number of immunological regulatory mechanisms. In this study, IL-12 was quantitated in culture supernatant following in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from a group ...
