چکیده

The results of metabolic labeling studies and enzymatic treatments followed by analysis on polyacrylamide gels show that the external proteins of hamster fibroblast cell lines, which have been identified by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, do not contain sulphated mucopolysaccharides or hyaluronic acid and are probably unrelated to collagen. Several of the iodinated species comigrate with carbohydrate-containing molecules. In particular, the major iodine-labeled polypeptide of normal fibroblasts appears to be a glycoprotein. This glycoprotein is absent or much reduced in virus-transformed cells, as detected both by iodination and by metabolic labeling. We conclude that the major iodinated polypeptide is not detected on transformed cells because it is absent rather than because it is masked. Approximate molecular weights of the external proteins are also reported.

Effect of Low Level Laser Therapy on the Surgical Wound Healing in Hamster

Background and Objectives: Accelerating wound healing is a very important factor for patients to return to ordinary life. Laser seems to have positive effect on cutaneous wound healing. This study aimed to investigate the effect of red light laser 630 nm on cutaneous surgical wound in hamster and to compare outcomes such as angiogenesis, number of fibroblasts and collagen form...

Highly conserved glucose-regulated protein in hamster and chicken cells: preliminary characterization of its cDNA clone.

A temperature-sensitive mutant K12 derived from a Chinese hamster fibroblast has been shown to overproduce three specific proteins of Mr 94,000, 78,000, and 58,000 when incubated at the nonpermissive temperature (40.5 degrees C). We previously identified these proteins as glucose-regulated proteins similar to those observed in chicken embryo fibroblasts when the cells are starved of glucose. In...

Selecting appropriate hosts for recombinant proteins production: Review article

In recent years, the number of recombinant proteins used for therapeutic applications and industry has increased dramatically. Recombinant proteins are produced in many host organisms (microbial, insect, plant and mammalian cells). There are many factors to consider when choosing the optimal system for protein expression and purification including the mass, purity or solubility of the recombina...

Proteomics Profiling of Chimeric-Truncated Tissue Plasminogen activator Producing- Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Cultivated in a Chemically Defined Medium Supplemented with Protein Hydrolysates

Background: Culture media enrichment through the addition of protein hydrolysates is beneficial for achieving higher protein expression. Methods: In this study, designing the optimum mixture of four soy and casein-derived hydrolysates was successfully performed by design of experiment and specific productivity increased in all predicted combinations. Protein profile of recombinant CHO (rCHO) ce...
