background toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite, which infects human beings. since the current antigens used for diagnosis or vaccination are contaminated with non parasitic material in which the parasite is grown, it is tried to produce recombinant antigens to design vaccines against toxoplasmosis, or make diagnostic kits. choosing the type of antigen to produce ...

Epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant DNA techniques. The aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (PEP) cDNA into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a  chimeric PEP-cDNA containing the FLAG epitope. The FLAG-PEP recombinant cDNA was construc...

Induction of DrsB1-CBDAvr4 Recombinant Protein in Hairy and Adventitious Roots T1 Transgenic Plants

background   and   objectives:    the   toxin   co-regulated   pilus   a   (tcpa)   has   been   described   as   a   criti- cal  pathogenicity  factor  of   vibrio  cholerae .  tcpa  is  a  candidate  for  making  subunit  vaccine  against  chol- era.  the  aim  of  this  study  was  to  produce  a  candidate  vaccine  by  expressing  recombinant  tcpa  in   e.  coli . materials and methods: i...

background: various prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems have been developed for the production of recombinant proteins. in the present study, we used a new protein expression system based on the iranian lizard leishmania, a trypanosomatid protozoan as a host, for the expression of lpg3 gene from leishmania infantum (l.infantum). methods: the lpg3 gene was cloned in the expression cass...

human growth hormone (hgh) is a protein with multiple roles in a range of biological functions such as protein, carbohydrates and lipid metabolisms as well as immunity, tissue development and overall growth. one of the major class of biopharmaceuticals in mammalian cells is the production of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. in this study, we constructed a lentiviral vector carrying coding r...

background and objective: use of elastin-like proteins (elps) provides high-performance protein purification without need for chromatography. in line with cost reduction and facilitation of recombinant proteins purification, which represent a high percentage of production costs, in this project, we eliminated the need for proteases in the process of separation of recombinant proteins from elp b...

background: rabies virus (rabv) is a deadly neurotropic virus that causes the disease of rabies in humans and animals. l protein is one of the large structural protein of rabies virus, which displays multiple enzymatic activities, and is required for viral transcription and replication.objectives: a truncated l protein of rabies virus is being cloned, expressed and purified to produce relevant ...

background: staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) is a major nosocomial pathogen and the infection with this organism in human is increasing due to the spread of antibiotic resistant strains. one of the resistance mechanisms of s. aureus comprises modification in binding proteins to penicillin. vaccine strategy may be useful in controlling the infections induced by this organism. this study aimed a...

materials and methods the expression of hyaluronidase antigenic fragments was optimized using iptg concentration, time of induction, temperature, culture, and absorbance of 0.6-0.8-1 at 600 nm. afterwards, the expressed proteins were purified and the enzymatic activity was assessed by turbid metric method. results data indicated that maximum protein is produced in od = 0.8, 0.5 mm isopropyl β-d...
