[ 1 ] - Preparation and characterization of a novel nanobody against T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-3 (TIM-3)
Objective(s): As T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) is an immune regulatory molecule; its blocking or stimulating could alter the pattern of immune response towards a desired condition. Based on the unique features of nanobodies, we aimed to construct an anti-TIM-3 nanobody as an appropriate tool for manipulating immune responses for future therapeutic purposes. Materials and Meth...
[ 2 ] - Gamma reactivation using the spongy effect of KLF1-binding site sequence: an approach in gene therapy for beta-thalassemia
Objective(s): β-thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world. As one of the promising treatment strategies, fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) can be induced. The present study was an attempt to reactivate the γ-globin gene by introducing a gene construct containing KLF1 binding sites to the K562 cell line. Materials and Methods: A plasmid containing a 192 bp sequence with two repe...
[ 3 ] - Manipulation of IL-10 gene expression by Toxoplasma gondii and its products
Background: This study was designed to evaluate whether or not T. gondii and its derivatives can change the gene expression level of IL-10 in murine leukocytes in vivo. Methods: Fifty BALB/c mice were divided into 5 groups, four of which received the excretory/secretory product (ESP) from cell culture medium, the ESP from cell free medium, the Toxoplasma lysate product (TLP) and the a...
[ 4 ] - Stimulation of Camel Polyclonal Antibody against Human T cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin 3
Background: T cell Immunoglobulin, Mucin (TIM)-3, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to TIM family. This receptor expresses on T helper type 1 (Th1) cells that binds to galectin-9 (Gal9); inducing an inhibitory signal. As a result, apoptosis of Th1 cells occurs and cytotoxicity of CD8 T cells becomes evident in vitro. Therefore, this immunomodulatory molecule may ...
[ 5 ] - طراحی و ساخت پلاسمید حاوی مبداء همانندسازی میتوکندری و ارزیابی تکثیر آن در رده ی سلولی انسان
زمینه و هدف: هدف از این پژوهش ساخت پلاسمید با مبداء همانندسازی ژنوم میتوکندری انسان به منظور دستیابی به ناقلی ایمن است که قادر باشد به صورت اپی زومال و به وسیله عناصر ترانس سلول انسان شناسایی و همانندسازی شود. مزیت این ناقل نسبت به ناقلین آدنو ویروسی ماندگاری و نسبت به ناقلین رترو ولنتی ویروس عدم ورود در ژنوم سلول میزبان می باشد. روش تحقیق: سه قطعه شامل مبداء های همانندسازی رشته ی سبک و سنگین...
[ 6 ] - طراحی و ساخت DNA Ladder صد جفت بازی با روش تلفیقی PCR و هضم آنزیمی
Background: Molecular DNA markers are one of the most important tools in molecular biology labs. The size of DNA molecules is determined by comparing them with known bands of markers during gel electrophoresis. There are many different protocols to produce these kinds of molecular markers. In this study we have suggested an efficient strategy to produce molecular weight markers in industrial pr...
[ 7 ] - بررسی بیان RNA ی غیر کد کننده ی بلند Hottip (lncRNA) در رده ی سلولی B16F10 ملانومای موشی
زمینه و هدف: ملانوما یکی از انواع سرطان پوست است که نسبت به سایر سرطان های پوست خطرناک تر می باشد. یکی از عوامل موثر در ایجاد سرطان ها، گروهی از RNA های غیر کد کننده اند که به نام lncRNA (long noncoding RNA) شناخته می شوند. این مولکول های غیر کد کننده بیش از 200 باز طول دارند و به عنوان یک تنظیم کننده در پیشرفت سرطان عمل می کنند Hottip (HOXA transcript at the distal tip) یک lncRNA ی بین ژنی است...
[ 8 ] - Producing Soluble Human Programmed Cell Death Protein-1: A Natural supporter for CD4+T cell Cytotoxicity and Tumor Cells Apoptosis
Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway is one of the immune checkpoint pathways involved in regulation of the immune responses and suppression of anti-tumor defense. PD-1/B7-H1-blocking antibodies improve immune responses such as cytotoxic activity of CD8+/CD4+T cells and also increase mortality of tumor cells; however their use is accompanied by adverse effects in pat...
[ 9 ] - Comparison of Nitroaromatic Compounds Metabolites Types by Sequencing Performance of Anaerobic-Aerobic and Aerobic-Anaerobic Processes
Introduction: Xenobiotic contamination is a global concern. Nitroaromatic compounds enter the environment through ammunition, ordnance disposal, burning the outdoors, and leakage of ammunition. Thirty percent of explosives enter the environment without any change, which can cause pollution of soil, water, and health concerns. So, effective remediation of the contaminated area is necessary. Mat...
