the intracellular parasite neospora caninumis prevalent in several countries and is increasingly recognized as an important cause of abortion and stillbirth in cattle. for characterizeing the tachyzoite antigens of neospora caninumin aborted cows, sera were obtained from 116 cows which were aborted in the third semester of the pregnancy period and had antibodies to neospora caninumin elisa. to ...

Although connexin36 (Cx36) has been studied in several tissues, it is notable that no data are available on Cx36 expression in the carotid body and the intestine. The present study was undertaken to evaluate using immunohistochemistry, PCR and Western blotting procedures, whether Cx36 was expressed in the mouse carotid body and in the intestine at ileum and colon level. In the carotid body, Cx3...

Rapid, quantitative Western blotting is a long-sought bioanalytical goal in the life sciences. To this end, we describe a Western blotting assay conducted in a single glass microchannel under purely electronic control. The μWestern blot is comprised of multiple steps: sample enrichment, protein sizing, protein immobilization (blotting), and in situ antibody probing. To validate the microfluidic...

objective: in this project, our aim was to construct a novel expressing vector harboring a new sequence from overlapping region of ns3 gene of hcv from infected iranian patient. materials and methods: the partial ns3 (pns3) gene was amplified by nested-rt-pcr method using sera of hcv infected patients harboring genotype 1a. after purification and cloning the pns3 into ta-cloning vector, the be...

results cloning was confirmed by pcr and restriction digestion. rt-pcr and sds-page represented expression of kgf in e. coli. the optimized expression was achieved 16 hours after induction with 0.3 mm iptg at 37°c in luria broth (lb) containing kanamycin. the 18 kda protein was confirmed by western blotting, using anti-his antibodies. conclusions the result of the present study indicated that e...

in this study 19 blv infected and 2 healthy lymph nodes were analysed by western blotting to detect viral p 24 antigen . western blotting was carried out by rabbit anti p24 serum and p24 monoclonal antibody. rabbit serum in western blotting could detect 45, 50, 54, 58 and less than 19 kd bands of proteins and monoclonal antibody could detect 30, 32, 39, 45, 50 and 53 kd bands. our results indic...

background and aims: dna constructs containing hcv antigens have become one of the vaccine candidates for induction of anti-hcv cellular and humoral immunity. in this study, we constructed a novel expressing vector harboring a fusion sequence derived from an overlapping fragment in the middle of ns3 and a truncated core fragment to avoid troubles reported to be associated with full gene express...
