abstract

background and aims: influenza a(h5n1) viruses  circulating in animals might evolve and acquire the ability to spread from  human to human and thus start a pandemic. hemagglutinin (ha) has been shown to play a major role in binding of influenza virus to its target cell and the main neutralizing antibody responses elicit against this region. recent studies have shown that glycosylation of ha is not much necessary for its immunogenicity. bacillus subtilis has been identified as a free endotoxin host for high expression and secretion of heterologous proteins with immunological activity. this bacterium is not capable of supporting glycosylation process. however, it could be an appropriate host to produce new recombinant ha1 for vaccine research purposes. in this study we constructed a recombinant b. subtilis that was able to express and secrete ha1 protein into cytoplasmic and extracellular medium. materials and methods: ha1 gene was amplified and cloned into pgem® 5zf(–) vector. it was then subcloned into shuttle vector pht43 and transferred to e.coli for propagation. accuracy of pht43-ha1 construct was confirmed by sequencing and restriction map. the recombinant plasmid was extracted from e.coli and used to transform of b.subtilis by electroporation. following iptg induction, the total cell protein and the protein secreted into media were analysed through a time course using sds-page. results: the accuracy of  pht43-ha1 construct was confirmed by sequencing and enzymatic digestion analysis. sds-page results showed that the recombinant ha1 protein was successfully expressed and secreted into medium. conclusions: the ha1 protein produced here could be considered and evaluated as a protective antigen which its immunogenicity potential needs to be assessed in animal models along with proper control groups.

Polyclonal Antibody against Recombinant Nucleoprotein of the Influenza A Virus (H1N1); Production and Purification

Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...

Construction of a recombinant bacmid DNA containing influenza A virus hemagglutinin gene using a site-specific transposition mechanism

Introduction: In recent years, influenza viruses have caused moderate to severe infections all around the world while so far there is no influenza vaccine that can protect people with only one dose of injection. In this regard, producing a universal vaccine based on virus-like-particles (VLP) could be an ideal approach.  Methods: In this study, the full-length ORF of influenza hemagglutini...

‏‎faciliting lexical access for the fluent production of speech‎‏

‏‎the hypothesis is that recent and frequent exposure to lexical items leads to a more fluent production of speech in terms of rate of speech. to test the hypothesis,a one-way anova experimental design was carried out. 24 sednior students of efl participated in a one-way interview test. data analyses revealed that those who were exposed frequently to the lexical items over a week prior to inter...
