introduction: binding a monoclonal antibody to tumor associated antigens is an effective method for cancer therapy because these agents can specifically target malignant cells, in fact monoclonal antibodies are effective agents for diagnosis, grading and treatment of different kinds of cancers. methods: in this research, a new monoclonal antibody against colon cancer cells was prepared and anti...

mehg and total mercury concentrations were determined in the muscle tissues of four fish species (cyprinus carpio, rutilus frisii, carassius auratus and esox lucius) from anzali wetland (guilan, iran). fish with the highest amount of mehg was selected to determine the thermodynamic parameters of mehg extraction. the extractions process was performed in the range of temperatures 331.15 to 367.15...

background: protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information re­garding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. the majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. most of the former studies focus only on interacting do­main pairs. however they do not consider the interaction...

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the devastating plant viruses in the world that infects more than 200 plant species. Movement protein plays a supportive role in the movement of other plant viruses, and viral coat protein is highly expressed in infected plants and affects replication and movements of TMV. In order to investigate genetic variation in the terminal fragment sequence in Iranian...

introduction: astrocytes, the most abundant glia in the central nervous system, modulate neuronal survival and function. astrocytic functions are mediated by synthesis and secretion of wide ranges of polypeptides through mechanism (s) poorly understood. among these, tgfβs are synthesized and released by the astrocytes. in this study, the involvement of wnt signaling pathway on the synthesis of ...

background stroke is the second cause of death and disability in the world, and oxidative stress which could be considered as a prognostic factor in patients for prevention, follow up and determination of stroke’s severity has a conceivable role in neural damage. objectives the aim of our study was to explain the association between oxidant/antioxidant imbalance as a prognostic factor in patien...

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...

Whole soybeans serve as one of the main sources of protein in ruminant nutrition. Different processing methods have been employed for ruminal protein protection. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of microwave irradiation [900 W; 2, 4 and 6 min] on quality, ruminal degradability and estimated in vitro intestinal digestibility of availability soybean crude protein....
