Abstract:

Introduction bacteria species; Burkholderia pseudomallei, Vibrio cholera, and Shigella dysenteriae are the main pathogen causing  Melioidosis, Cholera, and Shigella in humans respectively. bacterial species have a protein that has antigenic prosperities along with being a mucus based adjuvant thus easing their delivery and immunogenicity. These proteins were BLF1(B. pseudomallei), CTxB (V. cholera), and StxB (S. dysenteriae). The goal of this study was a chimeric gene composed of Blf1, CTxB, and StxB and expression of these proteins from E.coli. Materials and Methods Using Bioinfoamtic tools such as Protparam and Modeller the different combinations of the chimeric protein were assessed. The blf1 and stxB genes were PCR amplified from pET28a-BFL1-StxB. The 850bp fragment encompassing BFL1-StxB was cloned using SalI and NotI in the pET28a-CTxB vector. The engineered plasmid was transformed in BL21(DE3). The ctxB-stxB-blf1 gene was expressed following induction with IPTG. This induction was then assessed using SDS-PAGE. Results Chimeric protein instability index gets 40.06 and the half-life of it in E. coli was over 10 hours. Codon Adaptive Index (CAI) rise to 0/9 and GC content increase to 54.9. The optimal vaccine combination for the chimeric protein was determined to be CTxB-BLF1-StxB. Expression of recombinant protein in E. coli led to the production of a chimeric protein with 48 kDa molecular weight. Conclusion The findings of the current study revealed that this antigen can be raised as a recombinant vaccine candidate which can be due to such factors as a property of the ability to stop protein synthesis in BLF1, CTxB adjuvant, and delivery of StxB protein.

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

a study on the design of bio-ethanol process from date wastes of sistan and baluchistan province

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...
