The development of genetic technologies and bioengineering are creating an increasing number genetically engineered microorganisms with new traits for diverse industrial applications such as vaccines, drugs pollutant degraders. However, the destiny bacterial spores released into environment long-life organisms has remained a big environmental challenge. In this study, environmentally responsibl...

Updated and revised versions of COVID-19 vaccines are vital due to genetic variations the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen. Furthermore, that safe, cost-effective, logistic-friendly critically needed for global equity, especially middle- low-income countries. Recombinant protein-based subunit against have been reported using receptor-binding domain (RBD) prefusion trimers (S-2P). Recently, a new versio...

A proportion of healthy neonates and adults fail to develop a protective antibody response to recombinant hepatitis B (HB) vaccine. Unresponsiveness to vaccination could be attributed to defect in a number of immunological regulatory mechanisms. In this study, IL-12 was quantitated in culture supernatant following in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from a group ...

antibodies provide a suitable tool in fundamental research and their high affinity and specificity make them invaluable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. a promising alternative to conventional antibodies are the heavy chain antibodies (vhh) of camelidae having short length, high solubility and stability are preferred to other antibody derivatives. in this study, our goal was product...

Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus in the definitive host particularly in dog is the significant complication in the endemic area. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is serological detection of E. granulosus in the infected dogs. METHODS: Dot-ELISA based on the copro-antigen and recombinant EPC1 antigen (rEPC1) for antibody detection was performed. Blood and fecal samples ...

conclusions in comparison with the rate of hbcab positivity reported in other iranian studies, the rate was higher in the present study. there were a few variations, genotypes, and subtypes among the infected injecting drug users. further investigations are needed to unravel the molecular characterization of obi. results sixty-four (28%) participants were hbcab positive, 59 cases were hbcab pos...

A recombinant protein containing part of the dengue (DEN) 2 envelope protein was evaluated as a subunit immunogen for vaccination against DEN virus infection. A gene fragment encoding amino acids 298-400 (B domain) of the DEN-2 virus envelope was expressed as a fusion protein with the maltose binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli. This recombinant, DEN-2(B)/MBP, was purified and analyzed fo...
