In this paper, an efficient and convenient Fe3O4/PMG/IDA-Ni2+ nanoparticles that applied to purify and immobilize his-tagged β-glucosidase was synthesized, in which, Fe3O4/PMG (poly (N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate) core/shell microspheres were synthesized firstly using distillation-precipitation polymerization, then iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was used to open epoxy rings on...

The UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvylglucosamine reductase (MurB) from a Gram-positive pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae, was identified and characterized. The enzyme from S. pneumoniae shows 31% identity with the MurB protein from Escherichia coli, and contains the catalytic residues, substrate-binding residues and FAD-binding motif identified previously in the E. coli protein. The gene was cloned into...

The complementary DNA (cDNA) of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ferritin light polypeptide (FTL) gene was successfully cloned using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technology. We constructed a recombinant expression vector containing FTL cDNA and overexpressed it in Escherichia coli using pET28a plasmids. The expressed protein was then purified by nickel chelate affinit...

we can reach by dna microarray gene expression to such wealth of information with thousands of variables (genes). analysis of this information can show genetic reasons of disease and tumor differences. in this study we try to reduce high-dimensional data by statistical method to select valuable genes with high impact as biomarkers and then classify ovarian tumor based on gene expression data of...

background and objectives: baculovirus can be used as a vector in gene delivery system. viral envelope of baculovirus would display expressed protein/peptide and it could render as a potential vaccine delivery system. in this regard, the gene coding for a subunit of shiga toxin (stxa) from escherichia coli ( e. coli ) strain was cloned in a baculovirus expression system. stxa subunit has the ab...

Human epididymal protease inhibitor (eppin) may be effective as a male contraceptive vaccine. In a number of studies, eppin with an engineered His(6)-tag has been produced using prokaryotic expression systems. For production of pharmaceutical-grade proteins for human use, however, the His(6)-tag must be removed. This study describes a method for producing recombinant human eppin without a His(6...

Leishmaniasis is a major infectious disease of considerable public health in more than 86 countries around the world. Several approaches toward vaccine development against this disease have been taken. Glycoprotein (gp63) is conserved among diverse species of Leishmania and has induced immunological responses in murine models. Therefore, this glycoprotein has been considered as a second generat...
