چکیده
The ribosomal RNA genes encode the enzymatic scaffold of the ribosome and thereby perform perhaps the most basic of all housekeeping functions. However, recent data suggests that they might also control important aspects of cell behavior.

Construction of a Eukaryotic Plasmid Encoding Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen, a Candidate for DNA Vaccine
Background: DNA immunization with plasmid DNA encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. Objective: To evaluate the use of a DNA immunization strategy for protection against anthrax, a plasmid was constructed. Methods: The partialsequence of protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis, amino acids 175-764, as a potent immunogenic targe...
متن کاملDesign and Cloning of the Optimized L1 Gene from Human Papilloma virus 18 into the Expression Vector PcDNA3 and Evaluating its Expression in a Eukaryotic System
Background: Vaccines have played a special role in controlling and reducing mortality from infectious diseases. In this regard, DNA vaccines were developed to ease the production and reduce the risks of traditional vaccines. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been introduced as the causing agent of cervical cancer. The capsid protein (L1) of HPV has been used to produce subunit and DNA vaccines. Th...

Several vaccines against this disease have been developed. The aim of the present study was to cloning of tb10.4 gene in pcDNA3.1+ plasmid and evaluation of its expression in eukaryotic cells. ...
متن کاملConstruction of an Eukaryotic Expression Vector Encoding Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Glycoprotein D and In Vitro Expression of the Desired Protein
To construct of an eukaryotic expression vector encoding herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein D (gD2), an Iranian isolate of HSV-2 was propagated in HeLa cell line and its DNA was extracted and used as template in polymerase chain reactions (PCR), to amplify gD2 gene. Primers were designed and the restriction enzyme sites for EcoRI and XhoI were considered at their 5′ ends respectiv...
متن کاملDesigning and Development of a DNA Vaccine Based On Structural Proteins of Hepatitis C Virus
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases responsible for high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, designing new and effective therapeutics is of great importance. The aim of the current study was to construct a DNA vaccine containing structural proteins of HCV and evaluation of its expression in a eukaryot...
متن کاملHuman Virome
Viruses are dominant entities in the biosphere and parasitize all cellular life forms. The relative abundances of different classes of viruses are dramatically different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In marine, soil and animal-associated environments, virus particles consistently outnumber cells by one to two orders of magnitude. It is estimated that 10 quintillion (1030) viral particles ...
