Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease in human and animals. Brucella melitensis is one of the most pathogenic species of Brucella in goat and sheep. Omp31 is an outer membrane protein of Brucella that acts as an immunogenic protein. Cytokines are glycoproteins with low molecular weight that play the role of an immune adjuvant and regulate immune responses. Interleukin-2 is one of the most important...

BACKGROUND Recombinant proteins produced for use as biopharmaceuticals need to harbor their native N-terminus. A drawback in expression of recombinant fusion with an affinity fusion-tag is that enzymatic or chemical processing required trim the artificial tag and release true protein interest. In many cases, however, this step generates incorrect RESULTS Human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) ...

conclusions our results showed that the recombinant protein produced by the pbad vector in the escherichia coli system was very efficient. background nontypeable haemophilus influenzae (nthi) is a significant pathogen in children, causing otitis media, sinusitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, and occasionally invasive infections. protein d (pd) belongs to the minor outer-membrane proteins of h. in...

objective(s):multi-epitopic protein vaccines and direction of vaccine delivery to dendritic cells (dcs) are promising approaches for enhancing immune responses against mutable pathogens. escherichia coli is current host for expression of recombinant proteins, and it is important to optimize expression condition. the aim of this study was the optimization of multi-epitopic hiv-1 tat/pol/gag/env ...

background and objectives: brucella melitensis infection is still a major health problem for human and cattle in developing countries and the middle east. materials and methods: in this study, in order to screen immunogenic candidate antigens for the development of a brucella subunit vaccine, a cytoplasmic protein (dnak) and an outer membrane protein (omp31) of b. melitensis were cloned, expres...

morphine’s effects on learning and memory processes are well known to depend on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. whereas the role of the hippocampus in morphine-induced amnesia and state-dependent learning is established, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are poorly understood. the present study intended to investigate whether administration of morphine ...

background: there are only four drugs for treating african trypanosomiasis, a devastating disease in sub-saharan africa. with slow discovery of better drugs, vaccination is viewed as the best method of control. we previously showed that antibodies to native trypanosoma brucei brucei tubulin inhibit the growth of trypanosomes in culture. here, we aimed to determine the effect of antibodies to ba...

background:influenza virus is globally pathogenic and it is usually associated with zoonotic respiratory diseases. this virus has caused a number of pandemics with a high mortality rate. the non-structural (ns1) protein of influenza a viruses is a non-essential virulence factor that has multiple accessory functions during viral infection. this protein is highly conservative. it has been shown t...

background: rabies virus (rabv) is a deadly neurotropic virus that causes the disease of rabies in humans and animals. l protein is one of the large structural protein of rabies virus, which displays multiple enzymatic activities, and is required for viral transcription and replication.objectives: a truncated l protein of rabies virus is being cloned, expressed and purified to produce relevant ...
