molecular farming has been considered as a secure and economical approach for production of biopharmaceuticals. human tnf related apoptosis inducing ligand (trail) as a promising biopharmaceutical candidate has been produced in different expression hosts. however, little attention has been paid to molecular farming of the trail in spite of numerous advantages of plant expression systems. theref...

alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. the ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. a. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. the first system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-b1and alk-b2) and the second system is  cytochrome p450....

cholera toxin b subunit (ctb) has been extensively studied as an immunogen, adjuvant, and inducer of oral tolerance in many investigations. production of ctb has been carried out in the bacterial, plant, insect and yeast expression systems. in this study the expression of the ctb containing a 6xhis-tagged was performed by escherichia coli (e.coli) m15. the yield of purified pentameric recombina...

background: the poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to dna plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid dna encoding hpv16 e7 gene ...
