Cloning, expression and purification of Chikungunya virus E2 recombinant protein in E.coli

چکیده
Background Chikungunya virus infection is an emerging arbovirus disease. While many infected individuals recover after primary illness, others suffer from persistent debilitating arthralgia that can last for months to years. Currently, there are no immune correlates, vaccines, therapies or robust diagnostics that can affectively prevent, treat or diagnose Chikungunya. Therefore, this study focuses on development of a better diagnostic assay for Chikungunya infection.

Cloning, Expression and Purification of Creatininase From Pseudomonas Pseudoalkaligene KF707 in E. coli.
Creatinine amidohydrolase(EC 3.5.2.10) catalyzes the reversible conversion of creatinine to creatine. Creatininase in combination with other enzymes is used for detection of creatinine in serum and urine which is of significant value for detection of renal, muscular and thyroid functions. The aim of this study was to produce recombinant creatininase enzyme in E.coli expression system to use it ...
متن کاملCloning, Expression, Purification and Immunoreactivity Analysis of Gag Derived Protein p17 from HIV-1 CRF35 in Fusion with Thioredoxin from Human Subjects
So far, recombinant antigens of HIV-1, the etiologic cause of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), have been widely used for the diagnosis and vaccine development. P17 or the matrix protein formed by the proteolytic cleavage of gag is strongly antigenic and is as conserved and immunogenic as p24. In some cases, antibodies to p17 are more prevalent than antibodies to p24 and the decline in...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and recombinant expression of the VP28 (wsv421 gene) from Iranian white spot syndrome virus isolate
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a highly pathogenic and prevalent virus affecting shrimp culture worldwide including Iran. In the present study, a pair of primers was designed according to the sequence of VP 28 gene of WSSV in the GenBank. VP28 gene from an Iranian WSSV isolate (IrVP28) was cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain in order to produce VP28 protein...

متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Expression of Nucleocapsid Gene of Chicken Infectious Bronchitis Virus Strain Massachusetts H120
Chicken infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes severe respiratory and renal dysfunction in chickens. In the present study, we used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene of strain Massachusetts (Mass) H120 of IBV that is commonly used in the vaccine production in Iran. The PCR product with the expected size of 1.2 kb was cloned in...
