Plasma membrane H+-ATPase is a major integral membrane protein with a role in various physiological processes including abiotic stress response. To study the effect of NaCl on the expression pattern of a gene encoding the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, an experiment was carried out in a completely random design with three replications. A pair of specific primers was designed based on the sequence o...

The pLE2SCX vector was developed for the stable expression of exogenous genes in the protozoan parasite Leishmania. The pLE2SCX construct contains three independent selection markers: herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK), cytosine deaminase (CD) and streptothericin acetyltransferase gene (sat) in multiple cloning site, flanking by 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions of the previously clone...

Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...

Leishmaniasis is a major infectious disease of considerable public health in more than 86 countries around the world. Several approaches toward vaccine development against this disease have been taken. Glycoprotein (gp63) is conserved among diverse species of Leishmania and has induced immunological responses in murine models. Therefore, this glycoprotein has been considered as a second generat...

Objectives: Royal jelly (RJ), a secretion of both the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of nurse workers, is believed to play a central role in honeybee queen development. Important component of royal jelly are proteins which form about 50% of the dry mass of RJ. Major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs) are the dominant proteinaceous component of royal jelly and constitute about 82-90% of total pr...

staphylococcus aureus is a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis of dairy domestic ruminants. this agent produces a variety of extracellular toxins and virulence factors including toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (tsst-1) which is the major cause of toxic shock syndrome (tss). in this study 58 s. aureus isolates obtained from 9 dairy herds in east and west azerbaijan prov...

Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in the transmission of diseases from animals to humans and vice-versa.Various infections, such as mastitis in cattle, sheep and goats, as well as gastroenteritis due to food poisoning in humans are the most frequent problems caused by S. aureus. The bacteria also lead to severe economic losses in dairy industry. A major virulence facto...
