[ 1 ] - Stability Study of Measles AIK-C Strain, Mumps RS-12 Strain and Rubella Takahashi Strain in MMR Vaccine

Stability studies play a critical role in assuring product quality at all points in the vaccine life cycle and havea major impact on the success of immunization programs worldwide. The purpose of stability study isdetermination of the vaccine quality under the variety of environmental factors and to establish a re-testperiod or a shelf life and recommended storage conditions. In this study thre...

[ 2 ] - القای ایمنی هترولوگ علیه سویه‌های رایج آنفلوانزا با استفاده از واکسن ژنی بر پایه قطعه HA2

Background: Problems of live and inactivated influenza vaccines such as, increasing emerge and re-emerge viruses with high human mortality, current epidemics of influenza and direct transmission of avian viruses to human, affect the vaccination program. DNA vaccines as third generation of vaccines is specially considered for control of influenza in human and poultry. The main advantage of these...

[ 3 ] - A Case of Identity Confirmation of Brucella abortus S99 by Phage Typing and PCR Methods

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that is associated with fever in humans and abortion in animals. The agent of this disease is a facultative intracellular gram-negative coccobacillus called Brucella. There are six classic species, including B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. canis, B. neotomae, and B. ovis.  In recent years, four new species have been reported,...

[ 4 ] - Production and Characterization of a Monoclonal Antibody Neutralizing Poliovirus Type 2

Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) are used for biomedical research, diagnosis, treatment, production, and the quality control of biological products. mAbs are also very helpful in poliovirus research studies because it is still one of the major public health problems in developing countries. The main objective of this study was the production of mAbs against Poliovirus Type 2 (PV2) to be prepared an...
