in present study, a sybr green based real time pcr assay was developed for specific detection and quantification of bacillus subtilis in dough used for bread making. new primer pairs were designed to amplify a 212 base pair fragment of the apre gene. specificity of these primer pairs was confirmed with conventional and real time pcr methods. standard curves constructed using the threshold cycle...

Abstract Background Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) has been reported to be involved in tumor progression, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), glycometabolic modulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) buildup. Herein, the underlying molecular mechanisms of TAZ-induced biological effects bladder cancer were discovered. Methods qRT-PCR, western blotti...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to compare several DNA extraction methods and 16S rDNA primers and to evaluate the clinical utility of broad-range PCR in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) culture fluids. METHODS Six type strains were used as model organisms in dilutions from 10(8) to 10(0) colony-forming units (CFU)/mL for the evaluation of 5 DNA extraction methods and 5...

Mycoplasma contaminants can be considered important not only for their roles as pathogens but also they may indicate that insufficient care has been taken during vaccine manufacture or quality control. The purpose of this study was to test the poliomyelitis vaccines for Mycoplasma by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. During 2008 to 2009, a total of 47 lots of oral poliomyelit...

Introduction. Bladder cancer (BCa) is one the most common urinary system malignancies and approximately quarter of diagnosis invasive muscle-invasive BCa. Accumulating evidence revealed that keratin 17 (KRT17) closely related to prognosis progression various tumors including a recent study also implying potential role KRT17 in However, specific BCa remains be elucidated. Material methods. The e...

The objective of this work was to determine the frequency bacteriospermia and its effect on seminal quality in canines. Dogs were divided into two groups according weight: small dogs between 1 10 kg (Group 1) with more than 2). foreskin disinfected each animal (n=15), semen sample collected by gloved hand method. Sperm motility, morphology, viability, concentration evaluated using a 40x microsc...

OBJECTIVE To isolate and construct a cloning vector containing the human papillomavirus (HPV)16-E7 gene as a target for application as a DNA vaccine. METHODS The study was performed in 2005 in Iran. The E7 gene, one of the most important HPV oncoproteins and a target molecule for therapeutic vaccines, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product was cloned into a suitable...

Clostridium colinum is the causative agent of ulcerative enteritis, a serious disease of the bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) and sporadically of young chickens. The aim of the present study was to develop a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay specific for C. colinum identification. The 16S rDNA sequence of C. colinum was analysed and two species-specific primers were designed. The specif...

AIMS The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable molecular procedure for the detection of Escherichia coli in milk. METHODS AND RESULTS Robust and expeditious DNA extraction and PCR techniques were evaluated using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) detection of biotin-labelled amplicons to facilitate optimal detection of E. coli DNA. CONCLUSIONS It was found that 5 E. coli co...
