Cloning and expression of NS3 helicase fragment of hepatitis C virus and the study of its immunoreactivity in HCV infected patients
Objective(s): Hepatitis C is a major cause of liver failure worldwide. Current therapies applied for this disease are not fully effective and produce side effects in most cases. Non-structural protein 3 helicase (NS3) of HCV is one of the key enzymes in viral replication and infection. Therefore, this region is a promising target to design new drugs and therapies against HCV infection. The aim ...
متن کاملProduction of monoclonal antibody against recombinant NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (NADL strain)
Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....
متن کاملCloning and expression of hepatitis E virus ORF2 as a vaccine candidate
Introduction: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a fecal-oral transmitting virus which causes a chronic liver disease. ORF2 is an immunogen capsid protein of HEV that has been proposed to be used for Hepatitis E vaccine design. It is a 660-amino acid protein which includes an immunogenic region (residues 112-607). This protein has been expressed in complete and truncated forms, using different expressi...
متن کاملEstablishment of NS3 tumor cell line expressing Hepatitis C virus Non-structural Protein 3 as valuable tool for HCV challenging in mice
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major medical problems. Human and chimpanzees are the only specific hosts which are naturally susceptible to HCV infection. Mice and other common laboratory animals are resistant to the virus, hence HCV prophylactic and therapeutic researches are very difficult and challenging. HCV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) is one of the most attractive t...
متن کاملAmmonium Chloride as a Potential Candidate for the Treatment and Controlling of Covid-19
Coronaviruses, pathogens with a zoonotic potential, are positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses. SARS Coronavirus-2, the cause of Covid-19 infection, is from the betacoronavirinea subfamily, which has close genomic and proteomic similarity to SARS Coronavirus-1(1). Given the genomic proximity of these two viruses, studies on SARS Coronavirus-1 can be used to control or detect SARS Coronaviru...
