background: it seems that the success of vaccination for cancer immunotherapy such as dendritic cell (dc) based cancer vaccine is hindered through a powerful network of immune system suppressive elements in which regulatory t cell is the common factor. foxp3 transcription factor is the most specific marker of regulatory t cells. in different studies, targeting an immune response against regulat...

synchronization of rumen available protein and energy is one of the conceptual methods to increase the efficiency of utilization of nutrients by the ruminants the concept of synchronization energy and protein was first by jhonson, implying that maximum microbial protein synthesis could be achieved by matching the rate of organic matter and protein degradation. synchronization of rumen available...

background and objectives: timely diagnosis of leptospirosis is essential for an effective treatment. large diversity of clinical symptoms has led leptospirosis diagnosis difficult. researchers have conducted many tests with wide-range of sensitivity and specificity to achieve novel diagnostic procedures which have higher sensitivity and specificity compared with previous tests and which are mo...

conclusions based on the findings, application of recombinant arcaga antigen for the detection of h. pylori infection is a simple, rapid, and brief non-invasive method. therefore, it can be suggested as an appropriate antigen for h. pylori detection kits. results we investigated caga protein, using the immunoblotting method in stool samples, which were already identified as positive by the appl...

background alcoholic hepatitis (ah) is an acute manifestation of alcoholic liver disease with high mortality rates. objectives our aim was to study the molecular mechanisms of ah. materials and methods the differentially expressed genes (degs) in liver between ah and control cases were identified by analyzing the gse28619 microarray data using t-test. the kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes...

an experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of nitrogen afterflowering. the rcbd design was analysed with three replications and four n-treatments as foliar application as(n0=0, n1=4kg.ha-1 urea, n2=8kg.ha-1 urea, n3=4kg.ha-1 ammonium sulfate). results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of nitrogen. da...

objectives the overall goal of this study was to carry out a set of comparative analyses of arsr gene in plasmid r773 and bacterial chromosome from escherichia coli bl-21(de3). methods pdb and ncbi databases and chimera, mega4, clc main workbench software and 3d-jigsaw and embl-ebi servers were applied to perform this study. by using these software and servers, multiple analyses including deter...

background: tumour suppressor genes such as tp53, brca1 and rad51 are involved in dna repair and their malfunctions result in genomic instability and cancer. wild type (wt) tp53 binds to brca1and rad51 in vivo and in vitro. however, mutated tp53 in tumours can interfere with wt tp53 function. we studied how mutation of tp53 in mda-mb-468 cell line could affect its binding capacity and interfere...

nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...
