Identification of the porcine cytomegalovirus major capsid protein gene.

Cloning of Rota Virus Outer Capsid Protein (VP7) Gene into the pGEM Vector

Background and Aims: In humans the group A rotaviruses are associated with endemic diarrhea in children under the age of 5, leading to approximately 800,000 deaths every year. Introduction of rotavirus vaccines into childhood immunization programs can contribute to substantial reduction in mortality from rotavirus gastroenteritis in developing countries and virtually eliminating hospitalization...

Prevalence of Active Cytomegalovirus Infection in Hemodialysis Patients

ABSTRACT         Background and Objectives: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common viral cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of active CMV infection in hemodialysis patients in Gorgan, Iran.         Methods: Plasma samples were obtained...

Cloning of Rotavirus Outer Capsid Protein (VP7) Gene into the pGEM Vector

Nucleotide Sequence of Gene Encoding Capsid Protein VPI of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus / Type O1 Iran

Construction and immunogenicity of recombinant adenovirus expressing the capsid protein of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) in mice.

Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) has been implicated as the etiological agent of some diseases, mainly postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS). The capsid (Cap) protein encoded by the PCV2 ORF2 gene may be an excellent candidate for vaccination. In this study, the Cap protein gene was amplified by PCR, and cloned into the transfer vect...
