conclusion our findings confirmed that a prokaryotic expression system of rureb229-561 was successfully constructed.the results of sds-page showed that our constructed prokaryotic expression system pet28a- ureb229-561 -bl21de3 efficiently produces target recombinant protein in the form of dissoluble inclusion body. therefore we can suggest that these epitopes can effectively be a vaccine candid...

Human Interferon β (INF-β) is a member of cytokines family which different studies have shown its immunomodulatory and antiviral activities. In this study an expression vector was designed and constructed for expression of human INF-β-1b either in shake flasks and bench top bioreactor. The designed vector was constructed based upon pET-25b(+) with T7 promoter. Recombinant human beta interferon ...

background: during the last two decades, significant advances have been made in the fields of lactococcal genetics and protein expression. lactococcus lactis (l. lactis) is an effective vector for protein expression and can be used as an antigen delivery system. hence, l. lactis is an ideal candidate for mucosal immunotherapy. profilin (che a 2), the major allergen in chenopodium album, is one ...

background: although a simple and direct method does not exist for the detection of chlamydial infections, there are situations in which reliable serological tests, with sensi-tivity related to a specific antigen, could be helpful. objective: the aim of this study was to clone the first 1100 bp of the c. trachomatis outer membrane protein 2 (omp2) gene in order to prepare a recombinant protein ...

objective(s): hepatitis c is a major cause of liver failure worldwide. current therapies applied for this disease are not fully effective and produce side effects in most cases. non-structural protein 3 helicase (ns3) of hcv is one of the key enzymes in viral replication and infection. therefore, this region is a promising target to design new drugs and therapies against hcv infection. the aim ...

objective(s): enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec) strains are one of the primary causes of diarrhea in newborn calves and in humans, pigs, and sheep. igy technology has been identified as a promising alternative to generating a mass amount of specific antibody for use in immunotherapy and immunodiagnostics. the purpose of this study was to produce specific antibody by egg yolk antibody (igy...

citrus tristeza virus (ctv) is among the most destructive pathogens of citrus and causes substantial economic losses in citrus-growing industry worldwide. considering recent distribution of this pathogen and its capability of transmission by existing aphid vectors in iran, detection of this virus is enforceable for controlling the damage caused by this pathogen in iran, as one of the major citr...

background and objectives: toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite which causes severe diseases in the fetus of pregnant women and immunocopmromised patients. serological tests based on recombinant protein are one of the main diagnosis methods for the detection of specific antibodies in serum samples. dense granule antigenic proteins derived from t. gondii (tggras) are potenti...
