Objective(s): Production of a recombinant and immunogenic antigen using dengue virus type-3 envelope protein is a key point in dengue vaccine development and diagnostic researches. The goals of this study were providing a recombinant protein from dengue virus type-3 envelope protein and evaluation of its immunogenicity in mice. Materials and Methods: Multiple amino acid sequences of different i...

Ageratum houstonianum occurs as a common agricultural weed, it is managed in small and large cropping situation by tillage can contribute to soil fertility waste mulch. The aim of this study was employ the pharmacognostic taxonomic parameters evaluate leaves houstonianum. were collected, identified, air dried, pulverized subjected microscopy, micromeritics, chemomicroscopy, fluorescence, solubl...

Various kinds of fermented soybean meal are now commercially available, whereas the quality these products is uneven due to different processing technologies, fermentation strains, and raw meal, which would lead effects on bioavailability nutrients in aquaculture feeds. Thus, a 10-week feeding trial was conducted evaluate six available (FSBM) growth performance juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus max...

Protein aggregation is a major obstacle in recombinant protein production as it reduces the yield of soluble polypeptides. Also, the formation of aggregates occurring in the soluble fraction is more common than formerly expected, and the prevalence of these entities might significantly affect the average quality of the soluble protein species. Usually, the formation of soluble aggregates remain...

Utilization of heme-hemopexin as a source of heme by Haemophilus influenzae type b is dependent on expression by this bacterium of the 100-kDa HxuA protein, which is both present on the bacterial cell surface and released into the culture supernatant (L. D. Cope, R. Yogev, U. Muller-Eberhard, and E. J. Hansen, J. Bacteriol. 177:2644-2653, 1995). Radioimmunoprecipitation analysis showed that the...

In the present study, effects of NaCl concentrations (0, 20, 40 and 80 mM) were investigated in Ceratophyllum demersum. Macronutrients N, P and K and micronutrients Zn and Cu were significantly decreased by NaCl salinity. In general, however, Fe and Mn accumulation showed to increase. As a results, NaCl toxicity disturbed the uptake and translocation of macro and micronutrients in the macrophyt...
