Cloning, expression, purification, and quantification of the 17% N- terminal domain of apolipoprotein b-100

چکیده
Apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B) is the sole protein component of normal human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Elevated levels of LDL have been correlated with atherosclerosis and other coronary artery diseases. The large size of apo B (4536 aa) necessitates that it be studied in pieces corresponding to its structurally organized domains. The 17% N-terminal domain of apo B, simply B17, poses as one of these domains, having very specific structural characteristics. The current report describes a set of protocols for the cloning, expression, purification, and quantification of this important part of the protein.

Cloning, expression and purification of hemagglutinin conserved domain (HA2) of influenza A virus, to be used in broad-spectrum subunit vaccine cocktails
Introduction: Influenza virus has several conserved peptides which have the capacity to be used as suitable candidates for appropriate and stable vaccine production against different types of influenza viruses. One of these peptides is HA2, the hemagglutinin stalk domain which mediates the membrane fusion and is conserved amongst different sub-types of influenza virus. This peptide is a good ca...

Background & Aim: Bacterial superantigens, stimulate polyclonal T cells irrespective of their antigen specificity, resulting in a massive release of cytokines from T cells and monocytes, and suggest that that they could be candidates of new antitumor agents. Recent attempts have been done to specifically target superantigens towards tumors. Here, we evaluate TGFαL3-SEB fusion protein as a new a...

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe and lethal infections in immunocompromised individuals. This bacterium possesses a single polar flagellum. Flagellum and its subunit Flagellin play important roles in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa. Flagellin induces immune responses by interaction of its N-terminal domain with TLR-5. Our main ai...

Background and Objective: Botulinum neurotoxin type A, structurally consists of a 50KD light chain and a 100 KD heavy chain linked by a disulfide bond. The protein can further be divided into three functional domains of which catalytic domain corresponds to the light chain. In this research we aimed to produce recombinant catalytic domain in order to obtain a protective protein. Materials and M...
