Site – specific PEGylation of rHuEPO and evaluation of its biological activity and stability
Despite the critical role of erythropoietin (EPO) as therapeutic agent in treatment of anemia, its consumption is limited due to several disadvantages including the product short half-life, immunogenicity and susceptibility to proteolytic degradation. To overcome these drawbacks efficient methods such as site-specific PEGylation have been developed among witch N-terminal PEGylation has found mo...
متن کاملModulation of H2O2- Induced Neurite Outgrowth Impairment and Apoptosis in PC12 Cells by a 1,2,4-Triazine Derivative
Introduction: Increased oxidative stress is widely accepted to be a factor in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Triazine derivatives possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidative and anti-in.ammatory actions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of 3-thioethyl-5,6-dimethoxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (TEDMT) on H2O2-...
متن کاملFusion and sequence analysis of the influenza A (H9N2) virus M2e and C-terminal fragment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 (H37Rv)
The present study was aimed to construct a fusion plasmid harboring the extracellular domain of the influenza A M2-protein (M2e), which was fused to the N-terminus of the truncated HSP70 (HSP70359–610) molecule as a new approach for future vaccine research against influenza A. The amplified fragments, M2e and HSP70359-610 genes, were gel-purified. The products were then single digested with Bam...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Interactions and Oligomerization in Chaperone Activity of Recombinant Acr from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Background: The chaperone activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Acr is an important function that helps to prevent misfolding of protein substrates inside the host, especially in conditions of hypoxia. Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the correlation of structure and function of recombinant Acr proteins both before and after ge...
متن کاملMinocycline blocks c-terminal fragments of amyloid precursor protein-induced neurotoxicity by inhibition of cytochrome c release and caspase-12 activation
Minocycline is a second-generation tetracycline that effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier. It has remarkable neuroprotective qualities in models of cerebral ischaemia, traumatic brain injury, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, there is no evidence about neuroprotective effects of minocycline on AD. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized neurop...
