Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vaccination based on HCV capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. The core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...

in this study calf thymus chromatin was fractionated into active (s1 and s2) and inactive (p 2) chromatin. then the interaction of an anthracyc1ine antibiotic, adriamycin, with these fractions was investigated employing absorption and difference uv nis spectroscopy and sds and agarose gel electrophoreses. the results suggest that the binding of adriamycin to the s 1 fraction is slight but s2 an...

This study presents an application of neural networks (NN) for the prediction of Marshall test results for polypropylene (PP) modified asphalt mixtures. PP fibers are used to modify the bituminous binder in order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting asphaltic mixture. Marshall stability and flow tests were carried out on specimens fabricated with different type of ...

conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

purpose: this research aimed to study the effect of 8 weeks core stability training on static balance of the children with down syndrome. methods: a total of 16 children with down syndrome from rehabilitation center of noor abad city were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of control (n=8) and experimental (n=8). at the pretest and posttest, subjects’ static balances were evaluated by ...

this paper is a report on the synthesis of the fe3o4@ag core-shell with high saturation magnetization of magnetite nanoparticles as the core, by using polyol route and silver shell by chemical reduction. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the particles so produced were monophase. the magnetic properties of the product were investigated by...
