conclusions in this experimental study, for the first time in iran the expression and purification of this recombinant protein was done successfully. this recombinant protein could be used as a vaccine candidate and diagnostic purpose in subsequent investigations. results the highest expression of the cytochrome p450 cyp141 protein was obtained by the addition of 1 mm of isopropyl β-d-1-thiogal...

Background: Tuberculosis is a life threatening disease that is partially prevented by BCG vaccine. Development of more effective vaccines is an urgent priority in TB control. Ag85a and Tb10.4 are the members of culture filter protein (CFP) of M. tuberculosis that have high immunogenicity. Objective: To analyze the immunogenicity of Ag85a-Tb10.4 DNA vaccine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent as...

Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) is a fish rhabdovirus infection of world-wide importance. Control policies have been established but the disease still causes heavy losses in fish farming. The development of a recombinant subunit vaccine was initiated to produce a safe and effective vaccine to protect fish against VHS. The VHS virus (VHSV) glycoprotein, which induces neutralizing antibodies...

Background: Hepatitis C (HCV) is a worldwide problem without an effective vaccine with more than 170 million chronically infected people worldwide. DNA vaccines expressing antigenic portions of the virus with adjutants have recently been developed as a novel vaccination technology. Objectives: In the present study, a DNA vaccine expressing HCV core protein was developed with IL12 as a genetic a...

the identification of a large number of antigens with potential for development of new tuberculosis vaccine has been accomplished in recent years. this study was designed for cloning and expression of esat-6 as a potent antigen of mycobacterium tuberculosis. selected gene (rv3875) was amplified by pcr and product was ligated into expressing plasmid vector pqe30 and recombinant pqe30-es plasmid ...
