[ 1 ] - Design a Real Time PCR with SYBR Green for quantification of HTLV-1 proviral load for blood donors
Abstract Background and Objectives In Iran, Khorasan province is an endemic area for HTLV-1 virus. Considering the inability of serological tests to determine HTLV-1 in window period, their failure to confirm the indetermination results of western blot, and given the probability for HTLV-1 transfusion transmission, a SYBR green-based Real Time PCR was set to measure the HTLV-1 proviral load. ...
[ 2 ] - Determination of fucosyltransferase 3 gene polymorphisms frequency in Iranian blood donors
Abstract Background and Objectives The FUT3 gene regulates the expression of Lewis blood group antigens mainly Lea and Leb. The Lewis negative phenotype, is the result of an inactivated FUT3 enzyme that lacks glycosidase activity. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may cause enzyme inactivation with different racial distribution. This study aimed to determine the frequency of these...
[ 3 ] - Role of HLA-G 14 bp Indel polymorphism on susceptibility to HTLV-1 infection in blood donors of Khorasan Razavi Blood Center
Abstract Background and Objectives The HLA-G antigen is a non-classical HLA class-I with limited polymorphism. Several studies have indicated the role of a 14 bp Indel polymorphism rs371194629 in the 3'-UTR region of the HLA-G in acquisition of HTLV-1 infection. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the genotypes of this polymorphism and HTLV-1 infection in blood donors of Khor...
