background: baculovirus expression system is one of the most attractive and powerful eukaryotic expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins. the presence of a biomarker is required to monitor transfection efficiency or protein expression levels in insect cells. methods: the aim of this study was to construct a baculovirus expression vector encoding a copepod super green fluore...

Nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 Latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. Diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...

this study was conducted to evaluate consumption inputs, production costs, nutrient composition and performance in production of alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage. therefore, data on alfalfa hay production were collected from 75 farms in zanjan province, using a face to face questionnaire in the year 2012. a systematic random sampling method was used. then, two farms managed by silage harvesting s...

abstract             (co) variance components of milk, fat and protein yield of 11368 first lactation iranian holstein dairy cow were estimated by single trait random regression test-day models and restricted maximum likelihood (reml) method. in this study the homogeneous residual variance was assumed throughout lactation. estimated heritability for 305-day production traits ranged from 0.25 to...

background and objective: use of elastin-like proteins (elps) provides high-performance protein purification without need for chromatography. in line with cost reduction and facilitation of recombinant proteins purification, which represent a high percentage of production costs, in this project, we eliminated the need for proteases in the process of separation of recombinant proteins from elp b...

background toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite, which infects human beings. since the current antigens used for diagnosis or vaccination are contaminated with non parasitic material in which the parasite is grown, it is tried to produce recombinant antigens to design vaccines against toxoplasmosis, or make diagnostic kits. choosing the type of antigen to produce ...

the κ-casein protein plays a fundamental role in milk production and its composition synthesis in the mammary gland. this protein has an important role in the formation, stabilization, and aggregation of the casein micelles. in this study, we investigated the genetic variability at the exon 4 of the κ-casein gene (also known as csn3) using pcr-sscp analysis and dna sequencing. then a protein se...
