Introductory experiments in recombinant DNA.

چکیده
Nine practical exercises demonstrate the basic principles in recombinant DNA. The exercises explain the principles that DNA equals genes and that changes in DNA cause changes in genetic properties. The aim is to provide a teaching resource that can be used to illustrate the theory and applications of molecular biology to highschool students, undergraduate students, medics, dentists, doctors, nurses, life scientists, and anyone learning the basics of DNA technology.

Quality Control of Widely Used Therapeutic Recombinant Proteins by a Novel Real-Time PCR Approac
Background: Existence of bacterial host cell DNA contamination in biopharmaceutical products is a potential risk factor for patients receiving these drugs. Hence, the quantity of contamination must be controlled under the regulatory standards. Although different methods such as hybridization assays have been employed to determine DNA impurities, these methods are labor, intensive and rather exp...
متن کاملApplication of Rapid and Sensitive Real Time PCR Technique in Detection of DNA Impurities in Recombinant Interferon
Background & Objective: Interferon belongs to a family of cytokines, which has the most important role in the innate immune response to virus infections. While producing recombinant interferon in biological host, some pieces of host nucleic acids remain in product. Because of limitations in previous techniques for detection of these impurities, the objective of this study is to use rapid ...

We describe an investigative laboratory module designed to give college undergraduates strong practical and theoretical experience with recombinant DNA methods within 3 weeks. After deducing restriction enzyme maps for two different plasmids, students ligate the plasmids together in the same reaction, transform E. coli with this mixture of ligated DNA, and plate the cells on media that specific...

Abstract Background and Objective: the inhibition of tumor-associated angiogenesis can significantly reduce the tumor proliferation. The basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), an important angiogenic factor, is considered as a potential therapeutic target for cancer therapy. The purpose of this study was evaluating, designing and construction of new recombinant DNA molecule in order to ha...
متن کاملConstruction of a recombinant bacmid DNA containing influenza A virus hemagglutinin gene using a site-specific transposition mechanism
Introduction: In recent years, influenza viruses have caused moderate to severe infections all around the world while so far there is no influenza vaccine that can protect people with only one dose of injection. In this regard, producing a universal vaccine based on virus-like-particles (VLP) could be an ideal approach. Methods: In this study, the full-length ORF of influenza hemagglutini...
