[ 1 ] - High-level expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli
Fragment C is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin that can promote the immune response against the lethal dose of this toxin. Therefore, this portion can be considered as a candidate vaccine against tetanus infection, which occurs by Clostridium tetani. The present study aimed to compare the expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells...
[ 2 ] - HA03 as an Iranian Candidate Concealed Antigen for Vaccination against Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum: Comparative Structural and In silico Studies
In the last decades researchers had focused on developing a vaccine against tick based on protective antigen. Recombinant vaccines based on concealed antigen from Boophilus microplus have been developed in Australia and Cuba by the name of TICKGARD and GAVAC (De La Fuente and Kocan, 2006). Further studies on this antigen have shown some extent of protection against other species (De Vos et al.,...
[ 3 ] - Capripoxvirus identification by PCR based on P32 gene
Sheeppox virus (SPV) and goatpox virus (GPV) belong to the capripoxvirus genus of Poxviridae family. Sheeppox and goatpox along with contagious ecthyma (CE) are endemic diseases in Iran. Capripox laboratory conformation based on virological and serological techniques are time consuming, laborious and most of them of low specificity, because of close antigenic relationship between capripoxviru...
[ 4 ] - Molecular detection of pathogenic Leptospira in Iran
Leptospirosis is an acute infectious, systemic and septisemic disease which had recent outbreaks in some parts of Iran especially in north provinces. Rapid detection is a critical step for treatment and control of this disease. In this research a PCR based method was evaluated for detection of Iranian local endemic serovars. All reported endemic serovars of Leptospira including Leptospira gri...
