Natural products provide excellent potential leads for drug development because of their chemical diversity and biological functionality. However, the productivity of discovery of new, pharmacologically active natural products has traditionally been low due to inherent difficulties and costs associated with extract dereplication, i.e., isolation, purification and structure elucidation of indivi...

Background: The purification of Schwann cells has proven to be a difficult process, with most methods requiring the use of special equipment. However, obtaining a sufficient number and high purity of Schwann cells is an integral aspect in their use for clinical application. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a simple and effective protocol for the isolation and purification of Sc...

background: production of tissue plasminogen activator protein (t-pa) in prokaryotes systems has many problems such as the lack of active protein production, multiple purification steps, and renaturation process which has been shown to be costly and time-consuming. methods: in this study, reteplase which is the nonglycosylated active domain of t-pa was used to transform top10 escherichia coli (...

background: alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpc) of helicobacter pylori is considered as a diagnostic antigen. there­fore, this antigen can be used to detect h. pylori infection by stool immunoassays such as elisa. the aim of this study was to simplify the ahpc protein purification procedures. methods: for whole cell protein extraction, the bacterial cells were ruptured by octly-β-d glucopyrano...

essential oil of the orange peel which was extracted by hydrodistillation method showed 50 different mono- and sesquiterpenes on gc-ms analysis, in which limonene had the highest percentage (92.4%). due to various important uses of the compound, a method was developed for isolation and purification of limonene. in this method, for extra purification, a fractional distillation on vigreux column ...

purpose: to evaluate colostrum total protein differences between left and right breasts and between mothers of boy and girl infants. materials and methods: a cross sectional study for delivery was carried out on 30 boy-delivered and 30 girl-delivered mothers aged 16 to 36 years, conducted at the izadi and al-zahra hospitals in qom city, iran. colostrum was collected from both breasts by manual ...

An antibody was raised against a protein isolated from the cytoplasm of mesothelioma cells. It was subsequently used in an immunoperoxidase procedure on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections. A representative sample of benign and malignant tumours from all the systems of the human body was examined. All the tumours derived from coelomic surfaces (mesotheliomas of pleura, peritoneum,...

In this study, Dunaliella has been isolated in Jun. 2014 from Hoz-e Soltan and Aran-va-Bidgol salt Lakes (Iran). The isolates have been identified morphologically with the aid of simple light and invert microscope after isolation and purification on their specific medium (Moh202). By using molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and amplification of 18S rDNA gene primers, f...
