the anti-cancer activity of metal ions in the lanthanide group is being considered recently. it has been reported that cerium salts might stimulate the metabolism and therefore, produce anti-cancer effects. however, little is known about the effects of protein-cerium complex in controlling cancer cell growth. the aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible pathways for the cytotoxic ...

In this paper, we investigated a one-dimensional compactor based on a 45°-shear line technique with jogs insertion for a cell layout. The compactor can be connected off line from current commercial layout tools, such as Tanner Pro’s L-Edit, Cadence’s Virtuoso or Springsoft’s Laker, using the CIF format. A data structure of edge-linked adjacent matrix is constructed for easy implementation in ou...

abstract background and aims: to identify and isolation of viruses a susceptible cell is need which can be primary or line. the use of primary cells is laborious, time consuming and expensive, while the use of cell lines is much easier and faster. irkhbk cell line was originated from primary cells of bovine kidney by continuous passage. the aim of this study was to introduce the irkhbk cell lin...

objective: the study of physiological changes in recombinant cell lines provides useful information to improve production performance. in this study, we investigate the effects of an anti-cd33 chimeric igg4 expression on sp2.0 cell growth. methods: variable region genes of light and heavy chains of monoclonal antibody produced by m195 were cloned in pfuse-clig-hk and pfuse-chig-hg4 expression ...

background: both azadirachtin and rotenone, two botanical pesticides have shown inhibit the growth of cultured insect cells. the inhibitory effect of rotenone on cell growth is through disruption of electron transport chain, but exact mechanism of effect of azadirachtin on growth of cell is unknown. this study was carried out to compare the effect of these phytochemical on oxygen consumption by...

background: most cancer cells become resistant to anti-cancer agents. in the last few years, a new approach for targeted therapy of human cancer has been developed using immunotoxins which comprise both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. methods: in the present study, the recombinant shiga toxin a1 subunit fused to human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (a1-gm-csf...

in this syudy a continuous bovine kidney cell line derived from a primary bovine kidney cells was established for the first time in iran. the cells were originating from two-day-old normal male calf of holstein breed. the cell cultures were continuously passaged following complete proliferation of primary cells. the specific properties or characteristics of the cell were defined using cytogene...

background: the rh antigens are expressed as parts of a protein complex in the rbc membrane. this complex is a tetramer, consisting of two molecules of rhag and two molecules of rh proteins. to express rhd in rbc membrane, expression of rhag is essential. this co-expression only occurs in the erythroid lineage. k562 cell line has an erythroid lineage. materials and methods: cord blood was used ...

one of the major complications in cancer chemotherapy is the development of resistance, and cisplatin, as one of the important medicines in treatment regimens of different cancers is not excluded. one of the most described cellular defense mechanisms involved in resistance is glutathione (gsh) and in this study, the effects of cisplatin on the total intracellular gsh level (gshi) in some sensit...

objective(s): development of molecules that specifically recognize cancer cells is one of the major areas in cancer research. human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2) is specifically expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells. her2 is associated with an aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. in this study we aimed to isolate rna aptamers that specifically bind to her2 overexpressi...
