epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant dna techniques. the aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (pep) cdna into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a  chimeric pep-cdna containing the flag epitope. the flag-pep recombinant cdna was construc...

  With advent and development of DNA recombinant technology and advantages of p. pastoris expression system, fusion (F) protein of PPRV expression, because of effective immunodominant role could be an appropriate candidate for production of recombinant vaccine against PPR disease. In this study, F gene of PPRV Nigeria 75/1 strain (1637 bp) was amplified using RT-PCR and purified. It was then cl...

Background: The hyaluronidases are the enzymes hydrolyze β-1, 4 glycosidic linkage of hyaluronan. Hyaluronan is a polymer consisting of a repeating disaccharide unit found in cumulus ovuforus complex, semen liquid and other tissue. Addition to hydrolyzing the hyaluronan, hyaluronidase can penetrate through the cumulus cells layer that surrounds the oocyte, thus it terms spreading factor. Moreov...

objective(s): hepatitis c is a major cause of liver failure worldwide. current therapies applied for this disease are not fully effective and produce side effects in most cases. non-structural protein 3 helicase (ns3) of hcv is one of the key enzymes in viral replication and infection. therefore, this region is a promising target to design new drugs and therapies against hcv infection. the aim ...

Rumen bacterial strains can potentially be manipulated to perform functions different from wild type species. The most numerous species of bacteria in the rumen and gut are species of the familyBacteroidetes, whichcan have the potential for genetic modification for enzyme production. One of the genetic manipulation of rumen bacteria can perform for production of starch digestive enzyme for the ...
