objective(s): the rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (nsp4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase c-dependent and phospholipase c-independent pathways in infected cells. it is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...

We discuss a simple predictive solution to the solar neutrino problem based on maximal vacuum neutrino oscillations. The solution can be motivated by the exact parity symmetric model which predicts that the neutrino mass eigenstates are maximal mixtures of ordinary and mirror weak eigen-states (if neutrinos are massive). We show that this proposed solution to the solar neutrino problem is in re...

Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a foremost source of numerous nosocomial and community acquired infections. Antibiotic therapy for vancomycin resistant S. aureus (VRSA) can not promise the eradication of infections. Since adhesion is the major route of infections, adhesin based vaccine could suppress S. aureus infections. Fibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) and clumping factor A (ClfA)...

objective(s)  garlic (allium sativum) is known as a potent spice and a medicine with broad therapeutic properties ranging from antibacterial to anticancer, and anticoagulant. one of the major purified garlic protein components is the 47 kda protein. in this study, the effect of 47 kda protein extracted from aged garlic (age) was evaluated on mouse dendritic cell (dc) maturation in vitro. materi...

background: streptokinase is a bacterial protein produced by different beta hemolytic streptococci and widely used in thrombolytic treatment. the main disadvantage of using streptokinase is antibody formation which causes allergic reaction to neutralize effects of streptokinase therapy. aim of this study was investigate of recombinant mutant streptokinase fibrinolytic activity. m aterials and m...
