abstract

background: infections due to pseudomonas aeruginosa are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients who suffer from impaired immune responses and chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis. at present, aggressive antibiotic therapy is the only choice for management of p. aeruginosa infections, but emergence of highly resistant strains necessitated the development of novel alternative therapeutics including an effective vaccine. several p. aeruginosa antigens have been tested for vaccine development, including lipopolysaccharide alone, polysaccharides alginate, extracellular proteins, exotoxin a (exo a) and killed whole cell. however, none of them are currently available clinically. methods: in this research, recombinant exoa-flagellin (flic) fusion protein as a cocktail antigen was expressed, purified and its antigenic characteristics were evaluated. results: expression of recombinant fusion protein by e. coli using pet22b vector resulted in production of exoa-flic fusion protein in high concentration. based on western-blotting results, recombinant fusion protein showed a good antigenic interaction with sera from patients with various p. aeruginosa infections. conclusion: these results suggested that recombinant exoa-flic fusion protein can be produced in the laboratory, and tested as a candidate vaccine in p. aeruginosa infections.

Cloning, Expression, and Refolding of PPE17 Protein of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis as a Promising Vaccine Candidate

Background: Tuberculosis as a global health problem requires special attention in the contexts of prevention and control. Subunit vaccines are promising strategies to protect burdens of tuberculosis via increasing the BCG protection. The present study aimed to design a vaccine study by means of high-throughput expression and correct refolding of recombinant protein PPE17. Methods: We aimed to c...

Cloning and Expression of Recombinant Helicobacter pylori Urease A and B Subunits as a Putative Vaccine

Helicobacter pylori infection is among the most prevalent infections in the world involving more than half the adult population. H. pylori infection results in active chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and enhances the risk of gastric malignancies. It is of utmost importance to prevent H. pylori infection particularly in highly prevalent countries including Iran. The urease holoenzyme produced by...

کلونینگ و بیان دومین انتهای آمینی فلاژلین پسودوموناس آئروژینوزا و ارزیابی آنتی‌بادی‌های تولید شده بر علیه آن در مهار حرکت پسودوموناس آئروژینوزا

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe and lethal infections in immunocompromised individuals. This bacterium possesses a single polar flagellum. Flagellum and its subunit Flagellin play important roles in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa. Flagellin induces immune responses by interaction of its N-terminal domain with TLR-5. Our main ai...
