چکیده
background permanent antigenic variation of influenza viruses causes a major concern to develop an effective human influenza vaccine. conserved antigens are new vaccine candidates because it is not necessary to match the prepared vaccine with circulating strains. ion channel m2 protein is conserved among all influenza a viruses, allowing the virus to enter host cells. objectives to prepare an effective vaccine against influenza a viruses, a chimerical dna plasmid encoding influenza virus m2 protein and leishmania major hsp70 was constructed. materials and methods influenza a/new caledonia/20/99 (h1n1) was inoculated into mdck cell line and total rna was extracted. the full length m2 gene was amplified by rt-pcr using designed specific primers, cloned into pgem-t easy cloning vector and completely sequenced. the m2 gene was then subcloned into the pcdna upstream of hsp70 gene. recombinant plasmids were transfected into cos-7 cells to evaluate protein expression. results the recombinant plasmids were confirmed by pcr, restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing. three dimensional structure of chimer protein was assessed using specific software. transient protein expression in eukaryotic cells was confirmed by specific mrna detection, indirect immunofluorescence test and western blotting. conclusions m2-hsp70 chimer protein was successfully expressed in eukaryotic cells. computational studies of chimer peptide sequence revealed that fusing hsp to the c-terminal of m2 protein does not mask the predominant epitope of m2. hsp70 is a molecular chaperon and immunostimulatory component. genetically fusing antigens to hsps leads to the enrichment of dna vaccine potency. the immunogenicity of this construct with different formulation would be evaluated in further investigations.

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease and a health problem in different parts of Iran, especially two cities of Mashhad and Chabahar. Due to morphological similarities of most Leishmania species and difference in reservoirs of L. major and L. tropica, it is necessary to determine the parasite speci...

Background and Aims: Influenza A virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is able to create pandemic influenza. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection. Matrix protein 2 (M2) is a homotetramer ion channel with 97 amino acids length and highly conserved among influenza viruses and is considered for development of a universal influenza vaccine. Materials and Methods: We...

Background & objectives: Pentavalent antimonials are the first-line drugs for treatment of leishmaniasis, which have multiple side effects such as drug toxicity. Moreover, parasite resistance to these drugs is rising around the world. Second-line drugs, including Amphotericin B and pantamidine have also side effects and expensive for patients. According to the cytotoxic effects of paraquat, thi...
