expression of htlv-i p19 protein in an escherichia coli expression system always leads to the formation of inclusion body. solubilisation and refolding of the inclusion bodies is complex, time consuming and difficult during large-scale preparation. this study aimed to express and purify a soluble form of recombinant htlv-i p19 protein in an e. coli expression system. the synthetic dna encoding ...

objectives: in present study we aimed to clone the lux i gene encoding n-acyl-homoserine synthase detected in biofilm forming clinical isolates of acinetobacter baumannii and study its expression in escherichia coli transformants. materials and methods: four a. baumannii hospital strains which demonstrated strong biofilm activity were selected in this investigation. the presence of lux i gene w...

background: the aim of present study was to evaluate the protective efficacy of live recombinant l. tarentolae expressing kmp11-ntgp96-gfp fusion as candidates for live engineered recombinant vaccine against visceral leishmaniasis in balb/c mice. methods: kmp-11 and nt-gp96 genes cloned into the pjet1.2/blunt cloning vector and then into pegfp-n1 expression vector. the kmp-11, nt-gp96 and gfp f...

DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with poly‌ethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...

Fragment C is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin that can promote the immune response against the lethal dose of this toxin. Therefore, this portion can be considered as a candidate vaccine against tetanus infection, which occurs by Clostridium tetani. The present study aimed to compare the expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli  BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells...

introduction: glycoprotein b (gb) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. in the present study, the humoral immune response of balb/c mice to a truncated hcmv gb protein fused with gfp was evaluated. methods: the truncated gb coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pegfpn1 eukary...

due to the widespread applications of xylitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme used for the production of xylitol, the present study was designed for the cloning of xylitol dehydrogenase gene from glcunobacter oxydans dsm 2003. after extraction of genomic dna from this bacterium, xylitol dehydrogenase gene was replicated using polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the amplified product was entered into ptz5...

glioblastoma is the most common and the most lethal primary brain cancer. this malignancy is highly locally invasive, rarely metastatic and resistant to current therapies. little is known about the distinct molecular biology of glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) in terms of initiation and progression. so far, several molecular mechanisms have been suggested to implicate in gbm development. homeodoma...

background: leishmania major lmsti1 is a conserved protein among different species of leishmania, and expressed in both amastigote and promastigote forms of l. major life cycle. it has previously been expressed in bacterial systems. m aterials and methods: to express lmsti1 in the methylotrophic yeast         pichia pastoris ( p. pastoris ), the shuttle vector ppicza containing gene lmsti1 was ...
