results cloning and subcloning of the flic gene were confirmed by colony pcr, restriction enzymes digestion and dna sequencing of the recombinant plasmids pprime-flic and pvax-flic. the expression of flagellin protein in eukaryotic cells was approved by immunofluorescence assay (ifa), western blotting analysis and the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) method. conclusions t...

conclusions this study can serve as a fundamental experiment for the construction of a ns3/ns4a eukaryotic expression vector and its expression in mammalian cells. further research is underway to evaluate the fragment immunogenicity in lab animal models. results the results showed that the fragment was successfully amplified and cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector. sequencing and enzyme ...

Background: Follicle stimulating hormone is a heterodimeric protein composed of two subunits, α and ß, which are linked noncovalently. The hypophysial gonadotropin FSH plays an important role in the regulation of oocyte maturation, and a key component for growth of ovulator follicles in ewes. Materials and Methods: This study seeks to clone and express the ovine follicle stimulating hormone sub...

Expression of eukaryotic proteins in E. coli often results in their aggregation. Proper folding and solubility of therapeutical proteins are the pre-requisite for their bioactivity. This is not achieved in cytoplasmic expression in E. coli because of the absence of disulfide bonds formation. A novel expression/secretion vector was constructed which exploited β-lactamase signal sequence to trans...

background: baculovirus expression system is one of the most attractive and powerful eukaryotic expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins. the presence of a biomarker is required to monitor transfection efficiency or protein expression levels in insect cells. methods: the aim of this study was to construct a baculovirus expression vector encoding a copepod super green fluore...

Toxoplasmosis is a common and widespread infection in humans and many other species of warm–blooded animals. Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) may play an important role in the virulence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). In the present study, T. gondii Hsp70 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the DNA of the T. gondiitachyzoite RH strain through the use o...

background: interferons with diffrent functions such as antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory actions are effctivemedications for a number of diseases. one of these new interferons (ifns) is interleukin-29 (il-29) belongs to the family of ifn-λ hasantiviral activity and its potent in accompanying with ifn-α in treatment of hcv infection has been evaluated (clinical trial phase ii).r...

background: tuberculosis (tb) remains as a major cause of death around the world. construction of a new vaccine against tuberculosis is an effective way to control it. several vaccines against this disease have been developed. the aim of the present study was to cloning of tb10.4 gene in pcdna3.1+ plasmid and evaluation of its expression in eukaryotic cells. methods: firstly, tb10.4 fragment wa...
